EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken by the renowned Russian photographer Sergey Mikhaylovich Prokudin-Gorsky in 1909, showcases a typical Olonetsk man in the town of Vytegra during the Russian Empire. The man, dressed in traditional attire, stands full-length against the backdrop of a wooden bridge and the Mariinskii Canal. His facial hair, thick and full, is a striking contrast to his simple, white shirt and dark trousers. The sepia tones of the image add a timeless quality, transporting us back to a bygone era. Prokudin-Gorsky, a pioneer in the field of color photography, captured this ethnographic portrait as part of his extensive album, 'Views along the Mariinskii Canal and river system, Russian Empire.' This photograph is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of Russia and Ukraine, and serves as a reminder of the meeting of frontiers between the old world and the modern age. The image is now part of the prestigious collections of the Library of Congress in Washington D.C., and continues to inspire and intrigue viewers with its historic significance.
