EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a young married couple who were participants in the 'To Fight Consumption' campaign in 1913. The image is part of a collection of 136 photographs of Irkutsk from the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, showcasing various aspects of life in the city and countryside.
The couple, dressed in traditional attire of the time, stand together with a solemn yet determined expression on their faces. The woman holds a delicate flower while her husband looks directly at the camera, both embodying strength and resilience in the face of disease.
Consumption, also known as tuberculosis, was a prevalent health issue during this period, and campaigns like this aimed to raise awareness and promote public health initiatives. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the challenges faced by individuals during that era.
Through their participation in this campaign, this young couple not only showcased their commitment to fighting against consumption but also contributed to preserving the heritage and history of Irkutsk. Their story is one among many captured in these historical photographs that provide insight into the lives and struggles of people living in Russia during that time.
