EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph, titled 'A social gathering in the veranda room, Dom Smith, Vladivostok, Russia, 1899,' captures a moment in time as six individuals come together for a group portrait. Taken by American photographer Ann E. Ivy, the image offers a glimpse into the expatriate life of the Pray family in Vladivostok, Russia during the late 19th century. Seated on the left is Eleanor Pray, her elegant dress and demure expression hinting at her refined upbringing. To her right is her husband, Frederick Pray, who gazes intently at the camera with a serious expression. Next to him stands William Davidson, his arms crossed and a confident air about him. Dr. Robert Ivy, the only man in the group wearing a suit and hat, stands behind Davidson, looking off to the side. On the far right, David Clarkson sits casually in a chair, his relaxed posture and easy smile adding a sense of warmth to the image. The group is gathered in the veranda room of Dom Smith, a grand residence overlooking the scenic coastline of Vladivostok. The setting sun casts a warm glow over the scene, highlighting the figures and adding depth to the image. The photograph offers a fascinating glimpse into the social life of expatriates in Russia during this period, a time of exploration and cultural exchange. The figures in the image are frozen in time, yet their expressions and body language suggest a lively and engaging conversation taking place. The image is a testament to the rich heritage and history of the expatriate community in Vladivostok and the enduring allure of Russia's far east.
