EDITORS COMMENTS
This haunting image captures a group of convicts on the road near Tomsk, Russia, during the late 1880s. The exact date of this photograph is unknown, but it is believed to have been taken between 1885 and 1886. The convicts, dressed in tattered clothing and wearing chains, appear to be on a forced march through the Siberian wilderness. The desolate landscape in the background adds to the sense of isolation and hardship. Tomsk Oblast, located in eastern Siberia, was known for its harsh climate and remote location, making it a popular destination for exile and punishment. Convicts were transported from all over Russia to serve their sentences in the harsh conditions of Siberia. The photograph provides a glimpse into the lives of these men, who were likely far from their families and homes. Their faces reveal a range of emotions, from resignation to defiance. Some of the men look directly at the camera, while others turn away or cover their faces. This image is a poignant reminder of the human cost of crime and punishment in Russia during the 19th century. It also offers a glimpse into the meeting of frontiers, as the Russian empire expanded into Siberia and the lives of its people were forever changed by the harsh realities of exile and punishment.
