EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph, titled 'A meal with friends in the drawing room, Dom Smith, Vladivostok, Russia, (1899?)' captures a moment of camaraderie and cross-cultural exchange during the late 19th century. The image, created by American photographer Frederick S. Pray, depicts a group of friends gathered around a dining table in the drawing room of Dom Smith, a prominent expatriate figure in Vladivostok, Russia. Seated at the table, from left to right, are Sarah Smith, Dr. Robert Ivy, Eleanor Pray, Mrs. Valentine, and Mr. Shadatt. The group appears to be engaged in a leisurely tiffin, or lunch, likely a common practice among English-speaking residents of East Asia. The room is filled with an eclectic mix of furniture, including ornate dining chairs and a large, elegant dining table. The photograph offers a glimpse into the expatriate community in Vladivostok during this period, a time when people from various backgrounds and nationalities came together to form new social and cultural connections. The image is a testament to the enduring human desire for companionship and the ability to adapt to new environments. The photograph is part of a larger collection of images documenting the Pray family's expatriate life in Vladivostok, Russia, held in the Library of Congress. It is a valuable historical record of a bygone era, offering insight into the lives of people who lived and worked in Russia during a time of great cultural and political change.
