Chuyskiy Tract, on the Slopes of Kyngrar Cliff above the Confluence of the Yaloman... 1911-1913. Creator: Sergei Ivanovich Borisov
Chuyskiy Tract, on the Slopes of Kyngrar Cliff above the Confluence of the Yaloman River into the Katun River, 1911-1913. From a collection of color postcards of the Altay, or Altai, Mountains region of southern Siberia early in the 20th century. In 1907, Borisov began his expedition in the Altay Mountains, which lasted until 1911. He took around 1,500 photographs during this expedition, which, upon his return to Barnaul, he presented to the public through the use of a magic lantern. The photographs depict views of nature in remote corners of the Altay Mountains and the Altay and Kazakh peoples indigenous to this region. Borisov offered the photographs to various European publishers for the production of postcards. Altai State Regional Studies Museum

EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print captures the rugged beauty of Chuyskiy Tract, perched on the slopes of Kyngrar Cliff above the confluence of the Yaloman River into the Katun River. Taken between 1911-1913 by Sergei Ivanovich Borisov during his expedition in the Altay Mountains, this image is a testament to both his skill as a photographer and his adventurous spirit.
Borisov's collection of color postcards from the Altai Mountains region offers a glimpse into a remote corner of southern Siberia at the turn of the 20th century. His photographs not only showcase the breathtaking landscapes but also provide insight into the indigenous Altay and Kazakh peoples who call this region home.
As one man makes his way along a mountain road, carrying what appears to be a rifle on his shoulder, we are transported back in time to an era of exploration and discovery. The geological features, cliffs, and rivers captured in Borisov's work serve as a reminder of nature's raw power and beauty.
This photograph is more than just a snapshot in time - it is a window into history, offering viewers a chance to connect with both the land and its people. Borisov's legacy lives on through these images, preserved for future generations to appreciate and admire.
