EDITORS COMMENTS
Boris Vasilievich Smirnov's captivating image, "Siberian Cadet Corps in Omsk as Viewed from the Irtysh River," transports us back in time to the early 1900s in Omsk, Russia. Smirnov, a Russian artist, created this evocative pencil drawing during his journey across Siberia in 1904 as a prisoner transportee. The scene presents a panoramic view of the city from the banks of the Irtysh River, with the imposing facade of the Siberian Cadet Corps dominating the landscape. The military academy, with its grand architecture and rooftops, stands as a symbol of education and discipline, meeting the frontiers of the vast Siberian wilderness. The meeting of the urban and natural worlds is further emphasized by the winding river, which flows gracefully through the image, reflecting the buildings and carrying the history of the region. This monochromatic masterpiece, with its intricate details and textures, invites us to explore the rich heritage of Siberia and Russia during an era of significant change. The image is part of the extensive collection of the Novosibirsk State Museum of Regional History and Folklife and is now preserved at the Library of Congress.
