Bridge Across a Waterfall on the Arasan River, 1911-1913. Creator: Sergei Ivanovich Borisov
Bridge Across a Waterfall on the Arasan River, 1911-1913. From a collection of color postcards of the Altay, or Altai, Mountains region of southern Siberia early in the 20th century. In 1907, Borisov began his expedition in the Altay Mountains, which lasted until 1911. He took around 1, 500 photographs during this expedition, which, upon his return to Barnaul, he presented to the public through the use of a magic lantern. The photographs depict views of nature in remote corners of the Altay Mountains and the Altay and Kazakh peoples indigenous to this region. Borisov offered the photographs to various European publishers for the production of postcards. Altai State Regional Studies Museum

EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print captures the beauty and majesty of the Altay Mountains in southern Siberia, specifically showcasing a bridge across a waterfall on the Arasan River. Taken between 1911-1913 by Sergei Ivanovich Borisov during his expedition in the region, this image is part of a collection of color postcards that offer a glimpse into the remote corners of this breathtaking landscape.
Borisov's dedication to capturing the natural wonders and indigenous peoples of the Altai region is evident in this photograph, which highlights not only the impressive geological formations but also the connection between man and nature. The wooden bridge spanning across the rushing waterfall serves as a symbol of human ingenuity amidst untouched wilderness.
As one gazes at this image, they are transported back in time to early 20th century Siberia, where frontier exploration and cultural encounters were commonplace. The vibrant colors and detailed composition make it easy to imagine oneself standing on that very bridge, taking in the panoramic vista before them.
Thanks to Borisov's keen eye for photography and commitment to sharing his discoveries with others through postcards, we are able to appreciate and preserve these moments frozen in time for generations to come. This print from Heritage Images is not just a photograph - it's a window into history and an invitation to explore the untamed beauty of Russia's Altay Mountains.
