EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white lithograph, titled "View of the Lena Between Yakutsk and Olekminsk, 1856," is a remarkable piece of art that offers a glimpse into the remote landscapes of Siberia in the 19th century. Created by Ivan Dem'ianovich Bulychev, a member of the Imperial Russian Geographical Society, this print is part of a collection housed in the Prints Division of the National Library of Russia.
The image showcases an expansive vista along the Lena River, capturing its tranquil waters as they meander through picturesque scenery. The composition beautifully depicts sailboats gracefully gliding across the river's surface, their presence adding depth and movement to an otherwise serene landscape. The monochromatic palette enhances the sense of timelessness and nostalgia evoked by this historic scene.
Bulychev's meticulous attention to detail shines through in this finely drawn illustration. Each stroke captures not only the physical features but also conveys a sense of wonder for these unexplored lands. This artwork serves as both documentation and celebration of expeditions undertaken during that era to explore Siberia and Russia's Far East.
Within this album are 64 illustrations showcasing various aspects such as towns, cities, monasteries, landscapes, scenes on rivers like Lena River itself; all providing valuable insights into different ethnic groups residing in these regions at that time.
As we gaze upon this lithographic masterpiece today, we are transported back to an era when exploration was paramount and untouched frontiers beckoned intrepid adventurers. It reminds us not only of our shared history but also highlights how art can serve as a powerful medium for preserving heritage.
This print stands testament to Bulychev's skillful craftsmanship while offering viewers an enchanting window into Eastern Siberia's past—a visual treasure preserved within the walls of one of Russia's most esteemed cultural institutions.
