EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled 'The Ferry at Semapolatinsk' [ie, Semei], dates back to the late 19th century, between 1885 and 1886. The exact creator of this evocative image remains unknown, adding to its enigmatic allure. This photograph offers a glimpse into the rich history of Central Asia during a time of cultural and geographical intersection. Semipalatinsk, now known as Semei, is located in present-day Kazakhstan, near the confluence of the Irtish and Semipalatinsk rivers. The area served as a significant meeting point for various ethnic groups, including Kazakhs and Russians, who came together in this bustling frontier town. The photograph captures the essence of the region's transport infrastructure during this period. The Irtish River, a major waterway, served as a vital transportation artery, connecting Siberia to Central Asia. The ferry in the image is a testament to the importance of water transport in this region, allowing people and goods to cross the river with ease. The photograph also reveals the diverse population of Semipalatinsk, with people of various ethnicities and backgrounds coming together on the banks of the river. The image is a poignant reminder of the rich cultural heritage that exists at the intersection of different civilizations. This photograph, now part of the vast collection at the Library of Congress, is a precious piece of history that transports us back in time, offering a glimpse into the lives of people who lived in this fascinating region over a century ago.
