EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in the year 1900, showcases a group of high school students from Irkutsk, Russia, embarking on an excursion in the forest. The image, captured by the father-son duo of I. A. Podgorbunskii and V. I. Podgorbunskii, offers a glimpse into the past, providing insights into the region's natural beauty and the daily life of its inhabitants. I. A. Podgorbunskii, a local historian, priest, and teacher, and his son V. I. Podgorbunskii, an archaeologist, are renowned for their extensive collection of photographs documenting the Baikal region. This collection, now housed in the Irkutsk Municipal History Museum, offers a wealth of information about the area's history, culture, and people. In this photograph, the students are seen dressed in their uniforms, seated and standing, both in the forest and near a body of water. Their attire, consisting of high collars, long sleeves, and ties, is typical of the early 20th century. The students appear engaged and excited, making this a wonderful group portrait that captures the essence of a school excursion in the late 1800s or early 1900s. The photograph's composition is well-balanced, with the students arranged in a way that draws the viewer's attention to the group as a whole, while also allowing for individual moments of interest. The forest setting adds to the image's charm, with its tall trees and natural beauty providing a striking contrast to the students' formal attire. Overall, this photograph is a testament to the rich history and heritage of the Irkutsk region and the enduring appeal of the past.
