Hello from Irkutsk, 1904-1907: A Chromolithograph Snapshot of Siberian Life This chromolithograph, titled 'Hello from Irkutsk, 1904-1907,' is an intriguing artifact from the early 20th century, showcasing the vibrant culture and scenic beauty of Irkutsk, a city located in Siberia, Russia. The exact creator of this piece remains unknown, but it is part of the extensive collection held by the National Library of Russia. The image depicts a serene scene of two women, dressed in traditional Russian attire, standing in front of a picturesque backdrop of Irkutsk's buildings. One woman looks directly at the camera with a warm smile, while the other turns her head, engaging in a conversation with an unseen companion. The women's colorful garments and the intricate details of the buildings are rendered in rich, vibrant hues, thanks to the chromolithographic printing technique. Chromolithography, a popular method for producing color prints during the 19th and early 20th centuries, involves the transfer of multiple colors onto a single sheet using separate stones or plates for each color. This technique allowed for high-quality, detailed, and affordable color prints, making them a popular choice for postcards and other forms of communication. The title 'Hello from Irkutsk, 1904-1907,' suggests that this chromolithograph was likely part of a series of postcards, intended to showcase the diverse and captivating landscapes and people of Siberia to a wider audience. The postcard's undeniable charm and historical significance serve as a reminder of the rich cultural heritage and communication networks that connected people across continents during this period. Today, this enchanting snapshot of Irkutsk's past continues to captivate viewers, offering a glimpse into the history and traditions of Siberia and Russia during the early 20th century.
