Aerosleds on the Ob, 1880. Creator: GP Putintsev
Aerosleds on the Ob, 1880. From a collection of 153 photographs and documents held in the Berdsk Historical Art Museum, drawn from the personal archives of people who lived in the town of Berdsk in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The collection offers glimpses into everyday life, the atmosphere, and the activities in Berdsk, a major center of grain processing at that time. The photographs show groups of students and teachers, local mills, people at work in agriculture and industry, soldiers, and children and youth. Most appear to date from the early Soviet era. The documents include tickets, ration cards, membership cards, and other items relating to farming, trade, crafts, mining, and so forth. Berdsk is located in Novosibirsk Oblast in central Russia, along the Novosibirsk Reservoir just south of Novosibirsk city. Founded at the beginning of the 18th century as a fortress, it became a city in 1944

Aerosleds on the Ob, 1880
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating photograph by Russian artist GP Putintsev, held in the Berdsk Historical Art Museum. This image offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to the 1880s in Berdsk, a major grain processing center located along the Novosibirsk Reservoir in central Russia. The photograph depicts a group of men and their aerosleds, an early form of air transport, on the frozen Ob River. The men, bundled up against the cold, are seen standing next to their mechanical devices, which feature airscrews and propellers. The aerosleds, a precursor to modern aircraft, were motorized sleds designed for travel over snow and ice. The scene exudes a sense of excitement and innovation, as the men prepare for a journey across the icy expanse of the Ob River. The dogs, harnessed to the sleds, seem eager to go, their eyes fixed on the horizon. The aerosleds, with their futuristic design and mechanical components, stand in stark contrast to the surrounding winter landscape. This photograph is a testament to the ingenuity and resourcefulness of the people of Berdsk during the 19th century. It provides a unique perspective on the meeting of frontiers between the old and the new, as traditional modes of transportation gave way to more modern methods. The Berdsk Historical Art Museum, with its collection of 153 photographs and documents, offers valuable insights into the everyday life, atmosphere, and activities of this historic town.
