EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a rare and historically significant map titled "Karta I?A?kutskoi? oblasti chasti Olekminskago okruga i Irkutskoi? guberni¯i? Kirenskogo..., 1853." Created by an unknown artist, this intricate cartographic masterpiece provides a glimpse into the gold-mining concessions along rivers in the Olekminsk region of Siberia, Russia.
The map, composed with India ink and colored inks, is sectioned into 12 panels and mounted on cloth backing. Its detailed depiction includes notations and an index of deposits with names of the respective mining companies that were actively involved during that era.
Dating back to the mid-19th century, specifically the 1850s, this piece represents a crucial period in Russian history when industrialization was rapidly transforming the country. It serves as a testament to Russia's rich heritage in gold mining and its significance within the global metal industry.
Preserved within the Library of Congress' vast collection, this extraordinary artifact offers valuable insights into both geographical features and economic activities prevalent at that time. The use of Cyrillic lettering adds an authentic touch to its historical charm.
As we marvel at this remarkable work of artistry and precision mapmaking, it reminds us of our enduring fascination with exploration and discovery. This photograph print captures not only a visual representation but also encapsulates centuries worth of knowledge passed down through generations.
With each stroke on paper carefully executed by an anonymous hand from long ago, we are transported back to a different era—a meeting point between frontiers where nature's resources met human ambition. Let us cherish this window into history as we appreciate its beauty while acknowledging its immense historical value for scholars worldwide.
