"Exploring the Mystical Yenisei: A Journey Through Siberia's Frozen Beauty" As a motor boat sails through a frosty fog across the mighty Yenisei River outside Krasnoyarsk, it unveils a world of enchantment and wonder. The river, frozen in time, holds secrets waiting to be discovered. On its banks, a dog stands under trees covered with heavy hoarfrost and snow. It seems to marvel at the ethereal beauty surrounding it, as if guarding this magical place where winter reigns supreme. The Yenisei River is not just about icy landscapes; it also boasts breathtaking natural wonders. At its source lies a majestic waterfall that captivates all who witness its raw power. A chromolitho captures this spectacle in vivid detail, showcasing nature's grandeur. Sketches in Siberia come alive through engravings that transport us to this remote land. From the Thames to Siberia, lithos depict an adventurous voyage filled with awe-inspiring sights along the Trans-Siberian Railway. These images evoke both curiosity and excitement for what lies ahead on this extraordinary journey. Yet amidst these picturesque scenes lies tales of heroism and sacrifice. In one color litho from The Russo-Japanese War, we witness the heroic death of the captain of the Russian minelayer Yenisei – a testament to bravery etched into history forever. The river itself has witnessed countless stories unfold upon its shores. In 1923, D Carruthers immortalized the banks of the Yenisei River in an artwork capturing their serene beauty during Soviet times. And even earlier, in 1895, a rock inscription stood proudly by its side – an ancient message echoing through time. But not all moments are idyllic; some reveal harsh realities endured by humanity's past generations. An image from 1882 shows Russian convicts under military escort, waiting to be ferried across the Yenisei River.
