Lake Baikal, 1904-1917: A Chromolithograph Capturing the Arrival at the Grand Rift Lake This stunning chromolithograph, titled 'Lake Baikal,' dates back to the early 20th century, specifically between 1904 and 1917. The creator of this masterpiece remains unknown, but it is currently housed in the National Library of Russia. The image portrays the breathtaking arrival at Lake Baikal, the world's deepest freshwater lake, located in Siberia, Russia. The scene is set at a pier or dock, where various boats and ships have come to rest. An icebreaker, identified as the SS Baikal, dominates the foreground, its powerful presence a testament to the harsh yet beautiful Siberian climate. Steamboats and steamers, as well as smaller boats, are docked alongside the pier, their hulls reflecting the vibrant colors of the surrounding landscape. The pier itself is bustling with activity, with people and animals milling about, suggesting the arrival or departure of travelers. The railway, a relatively new means of transportation, can be seen in the background, connecting Transbaikal Russia to the rest of the country via the Trans-Siberian Railway. This meeting of frontiers – water and land, old and new, natural and man-made – is a testament to the rich heritage and history of this unique location. The postal service is also evident, with a postcard being handed off between two individuals, further emphasizing the importance of communication and connection during this era. The intricate details and vivid colors of this lithograph, or lithotint, provide a glimpse into the past, offering a glimpse into the daily life and transportation methods of the early 20th century.
