Irkutsk Kindergarten on Amurskaya Street, 1880-1889. From an album of photographs and prints showing highlights of the city of Irkutsk and its surrounding region in the late 19th century. Irkutsk was at that time the center of Siberian cultural and intellectual life. The buildings shown include the Museum of Regional Studies, a technical school, orphanage, hotels, and the Church of Our Lady of Kazan. Other photographs in the album show the suburb of Glazkovo and villages in the Irkutsk region, including one on the shores of Lake Baikal. The album also includes photographs of the native Buriat people, who are Buddhist, and the local Buddhist datsan (university monastery).

EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, captured by Peter Adamovich Milevskiy in the late 19th century, transports us back to a time when Irkutsk was the vibrant center of Siberian cultural and intellectual life. The image showcases the iconic Irkutsk Kindergarten on Amurskaya Street, standing proudly amidst other notable buildings that shaped the city's landscape.
As our gaze wanders through this historical snapshot, we are treated to glimpses of architectural marvels such as the Museum of Regional Studies, a technical school, orphanage, hotels, and the Church of Our Lady of Kazan. These structures not only served practical purposes but also represented symbols of progress and development within this thriving community.
Milevskiy's photographic journey extends beyond urban boundaries as he captures scenes from Glazkovo suburb and villages nestled in the picturesque Irkutsk region. Among these images lies a stunning depiction of a village situated along Lake Baikal's shores – an awe-inspiring testament to nature's grandeur.
The album curated by Milevskiy doesn't solely focus on architecture or landscapes; it offers an intimate glimpse into local culture as well. Photographs showcasing Buriat people – native inhabitants who follow Buddhism – alongside their Buddhist datsan (university monastery) highlight the rich diversity present in this corner of Russia.
With its 20 photographs and three prints featuring drawings celebrating nature's beauty, Milevskiy's album becomes more than just a collection; it becomes a window into history itself. Each image preserves moments frozen in time while offering viewers an opportunity to appreciate both past achievements and natural wonders that continue to inspire today.
Through his lens, Peter Adamovich Milevskiy immortalizes Irkutsk’s heritage artistry for generations to come. This remarkable photograph print serves as a reminder that even amidst technological advancements and societal changes over centuries, there remains something timeless and enchanting about the architectural, cultural, and natural treasures that define a place.
