Old photograph on glass plate Plate dimensions : 8.5 x 10 cm approximately Editor / Photographer : House of Good Press Place : Buryatia, Russia Date : late 19th - early 20th century This photograph is part of a collection produced by a photographer from the House of Good Press, a publishing house founded in 1873, which became Bayard Press in 1970. The scene represents a traditional Russian carriage with a troika of horses pulling a tarantass, typical car used in the vast expanses of the Russian Empire. In the foreground, a child in a thick coat stands proudly, while in the background appear wooden isbas, rural houses characteristic of Siberia and Buryatia. A rare ethnographic image, documenting daily life in eastern Russia at the turn of the century, between peasant tradition and period me.
