A Pack Road Along the Katun River near Its Confluence with the Argut River. In the Vicinity of Iukhtener Mountain and Stream, 1911-1913. From a collection of color postcards of the Altay, or Altai, Mountains region of southern Siberia early in the 20th century. In 1907, Borisov began his expedition in the Altay Mountains, which lasted until 1911. He took around 1,500 photographs during this expedition, which, upon his return to Barnaul, he presented to the public through the use of a magic lantern. The photographs depict views of nature in remote corners of the Altay Mountains and the Altay and Kazakh peoples indigenous to this region. Borisov offered the photographs to various European publishers for the production of postcards. Altai State Regional Studies Museum

EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning color photograph captures a pack road along the Katun River near its confluence with the Argut River in the Altay Mountains of southern Siberia. Taken between 1911-1913 by Sergei Ivanovich Borisov, this image showcases the rugged beauty and remote wilderness of this region.
Borisov embarked on an expedition in 1907 to explore the Altay Mountains, capturing around 1,500 photographs during his journey. Upon his return to Barnaul, he shared these images with the public using a magic lantern, offering a glimpse into the natural landscapes and indigenous peoples of the area.
In this particular photograph, we see a group of horses resting along the riverbank against a backdrop of towering mountains. The scene is peaceful yet majestic, highlighting both the tranquility and grandeur of nature in this frontier land.
The colors are vibrant and rich, bringing to life the beauty of the Altai Republic in early 20th century Russia. This image is not just a snapshot in time but a window into a world that still resonates with awe-inspiring landscapes and untamed wilderness.
Displayed as part of a collection at the Altai State Regional Studies Museum, Borisov's work serves as both historical documentation and artistic expression, capturing moments that continue to inspire wonder and admiration today.
