This photo print, titled "PDC-S-003731-0006" takes us back to the enchanting world of 19th-century Russia. In this image, we are introduced to a Russian coachman dressed in traditional attire, standing proudly next to his gig or calash. The coachman's full-length figure is prominently displayed, allowing us to admire both his elegant clothing and the magnificent horse-drawn carriage. The date of the photograph is estimated to be around 1880, placing us right in the heart of a bygone era. This snapshot offers a glimpse into an important aspect of Russian culture - the role and appearance of a coachman. With meticulous attention to detail, the unidentified author captures not only the essence of this individual but also provides insight into their work and vocation. The coachman's outfit reflects both practicality and style; he wears garments suitable for long hours on the road while still maintaining an air of sophistication. His traditional dress showcases elements unique to Russian fashion during that period. The gig itself stands as an impressive object within this composition – its wheels ready for travel along dusty roads or through picturesque landscapes. It symbolizes not just transportation but also represents scenes from everyday life in rural Russia during that time. Alinari has once again curated a remarkable piece from their extensive collection with this evocative photo print. As we gaze upon it, we can almost hear the rhythmic clip-clop sound echoing through our imagination as this Russian coachman embarks on another journey across vast lands.
