EDITORS COMMENTS
View on the Volga, Western Bank; A Journey on the Volga," is a captivating photograph taken by the British artist Nicholas Rowe in the 1870s. This image is taken from Henry Walter Bates' "Illustrated Travels," published by Cassell, Petter, and Galpin in London around 1880. The photograph showcases a breathtaking riverscape of the Volga River in Russia, with the western bank serving as the backdrop. The Volga River, the longest river in Europe, has long been a source of inspiration for travelers and artists alike. In this photograph, we see a serene and picturesque scene of sailboats gliding effortlessly on the water, their sails billowing in the wind. The boats appear small against the vast expanse of the river, which stretches out into the horizon, merging with the sky. The western bank of the Volga is dotted with trees, their leaves a rich green in the summer months, providing a striking contrast to the white sails of the boats. The banks of the river are also home to quaint Russian villages, their colorful buildings nestled among the foliage. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when travel was an adventure, and the natural beauty of the world was a source of wonder and inspiration. The Volga River, with its scenic vistas and rich history, continues to captivate and inspire, and this photograph by Nicholas Rowe is a testament to its enduring allure. The photograph is a reminder of the importance of preserving the natural world and the role that art and literature play in documenting and celebrating its beauty. It invites us to take a moment to appreciate the simple pleasures of nature and the joy of a journey, whether it be a physical one or a journey through the pages of a book.
