Street in the Village of Chyorny Anuy; Russian Children, 1911-1913. Creator: Sergei Ivanovich Borisov
Street in the Village of Chyorny Anuy; Russian Children, 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 print captures a street scene in the village of Chyorny Anuy, nestled in the Altay Mountains region of southern Siberia. Taken between 1911-1913 by Sergei Ivanovich Borisov during his extensive expedition in the area, this image offers a glimpse into the daily life of Russian children living in this remote corner of the world.
The children, dressed in traditional attire, play and interact with each other against a backdrop of rustic wooden cabins and mountainous landscapes. The vibrant colors bring to life the rich cultural heritage of the Altay and Kazakh peoples indigenous to this region.
Borisov's collection of photographs from his expedition provides a valuable historical record of a bygone era, offering insight into the geographical features and local people that inhabited these frontier lands. Through his work, Borisov sought to share the beauty and uniqueness of the Altai Mountains with audiences around Europe through postcards produced from his images.
As we gaze upon this snapshot frozen in time, we are transported back to early 20th century Russia, where simplicity and natural beauty coexist harmoniously in this picturesque village setting.
