EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the bustling atmosphere of the upper trading rows in Red Square, Moscow, Russia during the 1910s. Standing tall in the background is the iconic St Basil's Cathedral with its magnificent onion domes. Designed by Alexander Pomerantsev and constructed between 1888 and 1893, these architectural marvels were later repurposed to house the renowned GUM department store after the Russian Revolution. The image showcases a snapshot of daily life in early 20th century Russia. Horse-drawn vehicles traverse along the road outside, transporting goods and people amidst a backdrop of grand buildings. The juxtaposition of traditional religious structures like St Basil's Cathedral alongside modern commercial establishments like GUM reflects both Russia's rich Christian heritage and its evolving economic landscape. With its monochrome charm, this photograph provides a glimpse into an era when Red Square was not only a place of religious significance but also a vibrant market hub for trade. The wagon-filled streets evoke images of merchants haggling over goods while customers explore an array of offerings. Preserved within the collection of the Russian State Film and Photo Archive in Krasnogorsk, this archival gem serves as a testament to Moscow's historical importance as well as its ability to adapt to changing times. It stands as a reminder that even amid political upheaval, commerce continues to thrive – bridging past traditions with future aspirations.
