EDITORS COMMENTS
This image, titled "Female Pupil at the Irkutsk School," is a poignant representation of a young Russian girl's daily life in the early 1900s. The photograph was created by Boris Vasilievich Smirnov in 1904, during his journey across Siberia as a prisoner transportee. Smirnov, a Russian artist, documented his travels with a series of drawings and watercolors, capturing the essence of the people and places he encountered. The girl in the photograph is dressed in the traditional attire of the time, with a long, brown, center-parted hair that cascades down her back. Her simple, white, high-necked blouse and long, full, brown skirt are typical of the clothing worn by girls in rural areas during this period. The sanguine crayon drawing accentuates the girl's delicate features, her serious expression, and the intricacies of her hairstyle, which is adorned with a small bow at the back. The setting of the image, the Irkutsk School, adds to the historical significance of the photograph. Irkutsk, located in Siberia, was a remote and isolated region during the early 1900s, and the meeting of frontiers between the European and Asian influences is evident in the girl's appearance and attire. This image is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of Russia and the enduring legacy of Boris Vasilievich Smirnov's art.
