This vintage photograph, titled 'At a water tap in Nizhny Novgorod, Russia,' transports us back in time to the early 20th century. The image, part of The Keasbury-Gordon Photograph Archive Collection from Mary Evans Prints Online, offers a glimpse into the daily life of people in Nizhny Novgorod during the Victorian and Edwardian eras. The photograph features a woman in traditional Russian attire, standing at a water tap, drawing water into a large bucket. The tap, made of metal with intricate designs, is located on the side of a brick building, and a lantern hangs above it, casting a warm, inviting glow. The woman's expression is calm and focused as she goes about her task, oblivious to the world around her. The scene is set against a backdrop of snow-covered rooftops and trees, adding to the wintery atmosphere. The photograph's muted colors and grainy texture further enhance its vintage appeal. The image is a testament to the simplicity and resilience of everyday life during this era. The photograph also provides a glimpse into the infrastructure of the time, with the water tap being a common sight in Russian cities and towns during this period. The tap, along with the lantern, speaks to the ingenuity and resourcefulness of the people, who found ways to provide essential services despite the harsh climate and limited resources. Overall, this photograph is a beautiful and evocative reminder of a bygone era, offering a glimpse into the daily life of people in Nizhny Novgorod, Russia, during the Victorian and Edwardian periods. The image's timeless quality and intriguing details make it a must-have for any collection of vintage photography or Russian history.
