EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the quintessential Russian afternoon tea experience as it was enjoyed in the late 19th century. The scene is set in a cozy and elegant Russian interior, with a large samovar taking center stage on the table. The samovar, a traditional Russian heating device, is used to brew and keep tea hot for extended periods. The steam rising from the samovar adds to the warm and inviting atmosphere of the room. Around the samovar, a selection of teacups and saucers are arranged, ready for use. Small plates of delicious Russian delicacies, such as sweet pastries and savory pies, are also visible on the table. The rich colors and textures of the food complement the warm tones of the room and the ornate patterns on the teacups. The Russians in the photograph are dressed in the fashionable attire of the time, adding to the sense of elegance and refinement. They engage in animated conversation, their faces expressing a sense of enjoyment and relaxation. The soft light filtering in through the window and the warm glow of the room create a sense of tranquility and comfort. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us to a time when afternoons were spent in leisurely tea parties, surrounded by loved ones and delicious treats. The tradition of Russian afternoon tea remains an important part of Russian culture, and this photograph serves as a beautiful reminder of its rich history.
