EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a bustling book trade scene in Leningrad near the Kazan Cathedral during the 1920s. The image showcases a bookseller at his stall, surrounded by stacks of books and eager customers browsing through the selection. In the background, the majestic cathedral stands tall, adding to the historic charm of the setting.
During this time period, significant changes were taking place in Soviet Russia, including the establishment of a Jewish Autonomous Region in the Far East known as Birobidzhan. This album containing 274 photographs provides a glimpse into the early years of Birobidzhan, offering valuable insights into this unique chapter of history.
The black and white imagery evokes a sense of nostalgia and highlights the architectural beauty of Leningrad's streets. The presence of columns and pillars adds to the grandeur of the scene, while capturing everyday life in this vibrant city.
