Podprugin with his family, 1883. Creator: IL Kalinovskii
Podprugin with his family, 1883. This photo album belonged to Benedikt Ivanovich Dybovskii (Benedykt Dybowski), 1833-1930, a well-known Polish zoologist. Dybovskii was exiled to Siberia, for taking part in the Polish uprising of 1863-64; he remained there until 1877. He returned to Siberia in 1879 and served as the Kamchatka district physician until 1883. Dybovskii studied the environment and fauna of Baikal, Priamur'e, and Kamchatka. The album presents views of the port of Petropavlovsk and other settlements in Kamchatka as well as photographs of the people of Kamchatka--merchants, craftsmen, peasants, Cossacks, and Kamchadals. The album holds 127 unique photographs, which provide a clear image of the city of Petropavlovsk, the historical events associated with it, and its people in the second half of the nineteenth century.

The photograph is a testament to the meeting of frontiers, showcasing the unique blend of cultures and traditions that existed in Kamchatka during that time. The image, with its timeless appeal, continues to captivate viewers and offer a glimpse into the history of Kamchatka and its people.
