General View of the Village of Cherga, 1911-1913. Creator: Sergei Ivanovich Borisov
General View of the Village of Cherga, 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 postcard from the early 20th century captures a general view of the village of Cherga in the Altay Mountains region of southern Siberia. Created by Sergei Ivanovich Borisov during his expedition in 1911-1913, this photograph is just one of around 1,500 images he captured during his time exploring this remote and beautiful area.
Borisov's photographs offer a glimpse into the natural beauty and cultural heritage of the Altay and Kazakh peoples who call this region home. His work was later presented to the public through magic lantern shows upon his return to Barnaul, showcasing the unique landscapes and people he encountered during his travels.
The village of Cherga is depicted against a backdrop of rolling hills and mountains, with wooden houses dotting the landscape. The peaceful scene captures a moment frozen in time, offering viewers a window into life in this frontier region at the turn of the century.
This image is not just a snapshot from history but a valuable piece of heritage art that preserves both the physical geography and cultural traditions of this remote corner of Russia. It serves as a reminder of our connection to nature and history, inviting us to explore and appreciate the world around us.
