A Pack Road in the Katun River Valley near the Village of Tavda. Cliff "Skakun." Log Boards for the Passage of Horses over the Precipice, 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 print captures a Pack Road in the Katun River Valley near the Village of Tavda, taken by Sergei Ivanovich Borisov between 1911-1913. The image showcases Cliff "Skakun" and log boards used for the passage of horses over the precipice, providing a glimpse into the rugged terrain of southern Siberia's Altay Mountains.
Borisov embarked on an expedition in 1907 to explore the Altay Mountains, capturing around 1,500 photographs during his four-year journey. Upon his return to Barnaul, he shared these breathtaking images with the public using a magic lantern. His collection offers a rare look at nature in remote corners of the Altay Mountains and highlights the indigenous Altay and Kazakh peoples living in this region.
The postcard from Borisov's collection is part of a series depicting scenes from early 20th-century Siberia. This particular photograph not only showcases the natural beauty of the landscape but also provides insight into transportation methods used by locals at that time.
As we admire this historical snapshot frozen in time, we are transported back to an era when exploration and discovery were paramount. Borisov's dedication to documenting this unique region has left us with a visual legacy that continues to captivate viewers today.
