This 19th-century print depicts the Caucasus Region, a breathtaking and historically rich area located at the intersection of Europe and Asia. The image on the front showcases the region's diverse landscape, with towering mountains, winding rivers, and picturesque villages nestled among the terrain. In the foreground, a group of people can be seen engaged in various activities, suggesting the region's vibrant economy and rich cultural heritage. The reverse side of this souvenir card, created in 1856, offers a wealth of information about the Caucasus Province. A detailed map of the region is accompanied by the provincial seal, as well as statistics about the population and the local costume of the inhabitants. The text is written in Russian, providing a glimpse into the communication systems and postal services of the time. This card is part of a set of 82 illustrated cards, each representing a different province of the Russian Empire as it existed in 1856.
