Water Mill in the Valley of the Uymon River, a Tributary of the Katun River, 1911-1913. Creator: Sergei Ivanovich Borisov
Water Mill in the Valley of the Uymon River, a Tributary of the Katun River, 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 color photograph captures the serene beauty of a water mill in the Valley of the Uymon River, a tributary of the Katun River, taken between 1911-1913 by Sergei Ivanovich Borisov. Borisov's expedition in the Altay Mountains from 1907 to 1911 resulted in around 1,500 photographs showcasing the natural landscapes and indigenous peoples of this remote region in southern Siberia.
The image reflects a bygone era when industrial structures like water mills were essential for rural life and sustenance. The wooden mill stands against a backdrop of rolling hills and lush greenery, with the river flowing peacefully nearby. The reflection on the water adds an extra layer of tranquility to this picturesque scene.
Borisov's collection of photographs offers a glimpse into a world untouched by modernity, where nature and tradition coexist harmoniously. This particular print captures not just a moment in time but also serves as a testament to the rich heritage and history of the Altai Mountains region.
Displayed at the Altai State Regional Studies Museum, this photograph is more than just an artistic representation – it is a window into another time and place that continues to captivate viewers with its timeless beauty.
