EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Gold washing machine on Askold Island," is a captivating image from the collection of Russian photographer V.V. Lanin. Dated between 1865 and 1871, this photograph is part of a larger album of 154 images that Lanin took during his time in the Far East, specifically in the Amur region. The album was presented as a gift to the Imperial Public Library of St. Petersburg upon Lanin's return from his journey. The photograph depicts a group of men gathered around a gold washing machine on Askold Island. The machine, which appears to be made of wood and metal, is being operated by several men, each with a focused expression on their faces as they work to extract gold from the river. The scene is reminiscent of the industrial revolution, with the men's clothing and the machinery hinting at the modernization of the region. The image provides a glimpse into the gold mining industry during the 19th century in the Far East, a time when the meeting of frontiers between Russia and other neighboring countries was shaping the cultural and economic landscape. The photograph also offers a window into the lives of the people who lived and worked in this region during that time, showcasing their resilience and resourcefulness. Lanin's photograph is a valuable contribution to the ethnographic and historical record, offering insight into the lives of the people who lived and worked in the Far East during the late 1800s. The image is a testament to the rich heritage of the region and the importance of preserving historical records for future generations.
