EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print captures the serene beauty of the Embankment of Lake Seliger in 1910, showcasing the peaceful fishing settlements that lined its shores. The image, taken by renowned photographer Sergey Mikhaylovich Prokudin-Gorsky, transports us back in time to a simpler era when men in fishing boats could be seen going about their daily routines.
In the background, we see fishing nets drying on racks as fishermen work diligently to prepare for their next catch. The rustic charm of the village houses and buildings adds to the authenticity of this snapshot of life on Lake Seliger over a century ago.
Prokudin-Gorsky's use of color separation negatives brings out the vibrant hues of the landscape, from the deep blues of the lake water to the earthy tones of the sandy shore. This unique technique allows us to appreciate every detail with remarkable clarity and precision.
As we gaze upon this historical gem from Prokudin-Gorsky's collection, we are reminded of a bygone era when nature and humanity coexisted harmoniously along the tranquil waters of Lake Seliger. It is a testament to both his artistic vision and dedication to preserving Russia's cultural heritage through his pioneering photography.
