EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled 'Kazan: The Moat of the Old City; A Journey on the Volga' by English artist Nicholas Rowe, transports us back to the 1870s as we gaze upon the scenic view of Kazan, Tatarstan, Russia. The image is taken from 'Illustrated Travels' by Henry Walter Bates, published by Cassell, Petter, and Galpin in London around 1880. The photograph showcases the ancient city of Kazan, nestled on the banks of the mighty Volga River. The city's grandeur is evident in the architectural wonders depicted, including the impressive houses on stilts and the log buildings with intricate designs. The houses seem to harmoniously blend with the natural surroundings, as they stand tall against the backdrop of the river and the lush greenery. The moat surrounding the old city adds an extra layer of protection and charm to the scene. The calm waters reflect the beauty of the city and the clear blue sky above. In the foreground, we can see a group of people, likely locals, going about their daily activities. Their presence adds a sense of life and energy to the image. The photograph is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of Russia and the natural beauty of its landscapes. The black and white image, reminiscent of the 19th century, invites us to explore the history and stories that lie within the frames of this photograph.
