EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us to the snowy landscapes of Votiak, Russia. Taken from the renowned book "From Paris to Pekin over Siberian Snows" by Victor Meignan, this image captures the essence of rural life in 19th-century Russia. In this scene, a native Votiak man stands proudly amidst the winter wonderland. His fur hat protects him from the biting cold as he gazes into the distance with determination. Clad in a heavy coat and armed with a dagger, he exudes strength and resilience. The surrounding countryside is blanketed in pristine snow, creating a serene backdrop for his presence. Traditional cottages can be seen peeking out from behind him, their roofs covered in thick layers of snow. The landscape is dotted with trees laden with frost, adding to the enchanting atmosphere. Transportation during these harsh winters was no easy feat, but our hunter has found an ingenious solution – skis. With his trusty bow and arrow slung across his back, he gracefully glides through the snow-covered terrain on these ancient wooden skis. This print not only showcases the beauty of nature's wintry embrace but also offers us a glimpse into Russian culture and history. It serves as a reminder of humanity's ability to adapt and thrive even in challenging environments like Siberia's unforgiving winters.
