EDITORS COMMENTS
Step into the 1850s with this image of Samara Province, Russia, as depicted in this antique souvenir card. The front showcases the rich agricultural landscape of the region, with rolling fields of wheat and barley stretching as far as the eye can see. In the foreground, cattle graze peacefully, while along the banks of the mighty Volga River, fishermen cast their nets and villagers go about their daily tasks. The back of the card reveals a detailed map of the province, the Samara seal, and intricate Russian text providing information about the population and local costume. Samara, a key province in the Russian Empire as it existed in 1856, was renowned for its thriving agriculture, abundant natural resources, and strategic location at the meeting of the Volga and Samara rivers. This card is part of a set of 82 illustrated cards, each representing a different province of the Russian Empire. The set, now held at the National Library of Russia, offers a fascinating glimpse into the history, culture, and economy of each region, making it a valuable historical artifact and a cherished memento of the 19th century.
