EDITORS COMMENTS
This 19th century postcard, hailing from the Kherson Province of the Russian Empire in 1856, showcases the rich cultural, historical, and geographical tapestry of this region. The front image presents a picturesque tableau of the province's defining features, including the winding Dnipro River, the imposing mountains in the background, and the bustling marketplace with locals dressed in traditional garb. The scene is filled with the sights and sounds of agriculture, with cows grazing in the fields and barrels of produce ready for transport. The reverse side of the postcard is equally intriguing, featuring a detailed map of the province, the provincial seal, and valuable information about the population and local industries. The Kherson Province, located in Eastern Europe, was renowned for its fertile farmland, thriving fishing communities, and well-established postal service. This souvenir card, part of a set of 82, serves as a fascinating glimpse into the heritage and history of this region, providing a unique window into the past for modern viewers. The intricate illustrations, vibrant colors, and meticulous attention to detail make this a cherished memento for anyone with an interest in the arts, history, or travel.
