EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph from the 1920s transports us back to a time when tourism in Soviet health resorts was flourishing. The vibrant colors and intricate details of this artwork, created by the Russian School, evoke a sense of nostalgia for an era long gone. The scene depicted in the print showcases a couple enjoying their spare time at one of these idyllic resorts. They are seated on a bench, overlooking the sandy beach and sparkling sea. The man is dressed in swimwear while the woman basks in her natural beauty, embracing naturism as she enjoys the sun's rays on her naked body. Intriguingly, Cyrillic alphabet writing can be seen throughout the image, adding an authentic touch to this portrayal of Russian culture during that period. This suggests that it may have been used as an advertisement poster or promotional material for these health resorts. The lithograph not only captures the essence of travel and tourism but also highlights society's changing attitudes towards leisure activities and personal freedom during this transformative era. It serves as a reminder of how art has always played a significant role in reflecting societal values and aspirations. Preserved by the Russian State Library in Moscow, this remarkable piece offers us a glimpse into early twentieth-century Russia – its people, its landscapes, and its evolving notions of health and relaxation.
