EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, captured by Sergey Prokudin-Gorsky in the early 20th century, transports us to the historic city of Ekaterinburg. The image showcases a mesmerizing view of this Russian city, which holds a dark and tragic chapter in its history. In 1918, within these very streets depicted in the photo, an unimaginable event unfolded - the execution of Tsar Nicholas II and his family. This fateful incident marked the end of an era for Russia's imperial dynasty and paved the way for revolution. Prokudin-Gorsky's photographic survey of the Russian Empire on the brink of change is truly remarkable. His pioneering technique involved merging three separate images taken through red, green, and blue filters to create stunning color photographs ahead of his time. As we gaze upon this hauntingly beautiful scene, we are reminded not only of Ekaterinburg's architectural wonders but also its industrial prowess during that period. The wooden houses nestled amidst grand churches symbolize both tradition and progress within this evolving empire. This rare glimpse into history serves as a poignant reminder of how photography can capture moments frozen in time. It allows us to reflect on significant events that have shaped our world today while appreciating Prokudin-Gorsky's groundbreaking contribution to color photography.
