EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative black-and-white photograph, titled 'A social gathering in the veranda room, Dom Smith, Vladivostok, Russia, 1899,' captures a moment in time as a group of expatriates gathered for an afternoon meeting in the veranda room of Dom Smith, a prominent English-speaking hotel in Vladivostok, Russia. The image, created by American photographer Frederick S. Pray, offers a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of the late 19th century as depicted in Eleanor Lord Pray's letter of July 14, 1899. Seated in the center of the group, with a serious expression, is Mr. Miller. To his right, Eleanor Pray, the photographer's wife, is seen looking directly at the camera with a demure smile. The gathering includes notable figures such as David Clarkson (leftmost), a businessman from San Francisco, and Mr. Bell and Mrs. Bunker (third and fourth from the left) from Chicago. Also present are William Davidson, Mrs. Sarah Smith, and Mr. Johns, all of whom are described in Eleanor's letter. The group portrait, which is number 29 in David Clarkson's album, showcases the diverse mix of men and women, dressed in their finest attire, engaged in a meeting of minds. The setting – a veranda overlooking the picturesque landscape of Vladivostok – adds to the sense of tranquility and camaraderie. The image is a testament to the social life of expatriates during this era, offering a glimpse into the history and heritage of the time.
