EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the bustling activity at the Surkow & Shergold Timber Deal Yard in Archangel, Russia, in the year 1904. The Surkow and Shergold families, with roots in Britain, had established a successful timber trading business in partnership since the late 18th century. The yard, located in the port city of Archangel (now known as Arkhangelsk), was a hub of timber import and export. The image reveals an impressive scene of towering timber stacks and piles, meticulously arranged in neat rows, ready to be transported to various destinations. The workers, dressed in heavy coats and hats, are busy loading and unloading the timber, their faces set with determination and focus. The horses and carts, positioned nearby, are a testament to the manual labor that was essential to the timber trade during this era. The Surkow & Shergold partnership thrived in the harsh Russian climate, surviving well into the 20th century. However, the communist era brought an end to the business, as the government nationalized private enterprises. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the rich history of international trade and the significant role played by the Surkow and Shergold families in the timber industry of Archangel. The 1900s were an era of significant change, and this photograph offers a unique glimpse into the daily life and operations of a thriving mercantile enterprise during that time. The Surkow & Shergold Timber Deal Yard in Archangel stands as a testament to the resilience and adaptability of businesses and families, even in the face of political and economic upheaval.
