The city of Nikolaevsk-on-Amur. Gilyatskaya village in winter, 1900. Creator: Unknown
The city of Nikolaevsk-on-Amur. Gilyatskaya village in winter, 1900. Postcard from a collection of 103 postcards of the city of Nikolayevsk-on-Amur in the early 20th century. The collection provides a unique photographic record of the development of the city and of the lower Amur region in this period. The cards offer views of the architectural appearance of the old city (especially valuable, because during the Russian Civil War Nikolayevsk-on-Amur was destroyed and burnt), as well as of the culture, daily life, and occupations of residents, and of the different ethnic groups that made up the population of the region.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the serene beauty of Gilyatskaya village in Nikolaevsk-on-Amur during the winter of 1900. The image showcases the quaint buildings blanketed in snow, with a group of indigenous Gilyak people and their dogs adding life to the scene. This postcard is part of a collection that offers a rare glimpse into the early 20th-century development of Nikolayevsk-on-Amur and the lower Amur region.
The architectural details of the old city are particularly valuable, as much was lost during the Russian Civil War when Nikolayevsk-on-Amur was destroyed and burnt. Through these postcards, we can also observe aspects of daily life, culture, and occupations of residents from different ethnic groups that populated this region at that time.
Preserved by the Nikolaevsk-on-Amur Museum of Municipal History and Folklife, this historical snapshot serves as a reminder of a bygone era. It allows us to appreciate not only the rustic charm of rural life in early 20th-century Russia but also provides insight into regionalism and heritage art. Let this image transport you back in time to experience the wintry magic captured by an unknown photographer over a century ago.
