EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "The first train in Irkutsk, 1898," captures a historic moment in the city's transportation history. Taken by Russian photographer AS Lavrentev, the image anticipates the excitement and anticipation of the Irkutsk community as they gather to witness the departure of the first train from the station. The locomotive, a symbol of modernization and progress, stands proudly at the forefront, ready to transport passengers and goods to new destinations. The photograph offers a glimpse into the past, providing a window into the lives of the people of Irkutsk during the late 19th century. The crowd, a mix of men and women, children and adults, stands in awe of the new technology. The women, dressed in long skirts and shawls, huddle together, their faces expressing a sense of wonder and curiosity. The men, some in suits and hats, others in traditional Russian garb, stand with their arms crossed or pointing towards the train, eager to be a part of this new era. The photograph also showcases the meeting of frontiers, as the train represents the connection between the city of Irkutsk and the vast countryside of Irkutsk Province. The image is a testament to the rich heritage of Russia's Siberian region and the significant role it played in the country's history. This still image, taken over a century ago, continues to captivate and inspire, offering a glimpse into a time when the world was changing, and the future was full of possibilities.
