EDITORS COMMENTS
This chromolithograph depicts a scene from the Transbaikal Railway during the early 1900s, specifically at the Chita tract near the city of Verkhneudinsk. The railway line, a vital means of communication and transportation in the remote and rugged terrain of Siberia, is seen winding its way through the landscape, with a locomotive making its way up a hillside. The cliffs and hills in the background create a dramatic contrast against the vibrant colors of the train and the surrounding greenery. The meeting of frontiers is evident in this image, as the railway line marks the boundary between different geographical features and regions. The Transbaikal Railway, also known as the Circumbaikal Railway, was a significant achievement in Russia's history, connecting the eastern and western parts of the country and facilitating the exploration and development of the vast Siberian wilderness. This lithograph, created between 1904 and 1917, offers a glimpse into the past and the challenges faced by the Russian people in building and maintaining the railway in such a harsh and unforgiving environment. The image is a testament to the human spirit and ingenuity, as well as the beauty and diversity of the natural world. The National Library of Russia preserves this historic artifact, a reminder of the rich heritage and history of Russia and its people. The image is a still and scenic representation of a bygone era, transporting us back in time and inviting us to explore the wonders of the Transbaikal region.
