Blue Cliff, Koksa River Valley, Uimon Tract, 1911-1913. Creator: Sergei Ivanovich Borisov
Blue Cliff, Koksa River Valley, Uimon Tract, 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 color photograph captures the breathtaking beauty of Blue Cliff in the Koksa River Valley, located in the Uimon Tract of southern Siberia's Altay Mountains. Taken between 1911-1913 by renowned photographer Sergei Ivanovich Borisov, this image is part of a collection of postcards showcasing the natural wonders and indigenous peoples of the Altai region.
Borisov embarked on an expedition in 1907 that lasted until 1911, during which he captured around 1,500 photographs. Upon his return to Barnaul, he shared these images with the public using a magic lantern. The photos offer a glimpse into remote corners of the Altay Mountains and depict the traditional lifestyle of the Altay and Kazakh peoples.
In this particular photo print, a lone rider on horseback can be seen overlooking the vast expanse of mountains and valleys below. The vibrant colors and striking composition make it clear why Borisov's work has become such an important part of Siberian heritage art.
The Blue Cliff in Koksa River Valley serves as a reminder of both nature's grandeur and humanity's connection to it. This image is not just a snapshot frozen in time but a testament to Borisov's dedication to capturing and sharing the beauty of this unique region with audiences far beyond its borders.
