EDITORS COMMENTS
This chromolithograph depicts an Irkutsk pontoon boat navigating the tranquil waters of the Angara River in Russia, circa 1904-1914. The Angara River, a major geographical feature in Eastern Siberia, served as a vital means of communication and transportation during this era. The pontoon boat, with its distinctive flat-bottomed design, was a common sight along the riverside, facilitating the movement of passengers and goods between Irkutsk and its surrounding areas. The image, created by an unknown artist during the early 20th century, offers a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of Irkutsk Oblast, Russia, located in Asia. The scene is further enhanced by the presence of a bridge in the background, possibly a pontoon bridge, which adds to the bustling atmosphere of the riverside. The quayside teems with figures, hinting at the vibrant social life and economic activity that thrived along the riverbanks. This chromolithograph, produced by Aktsionernoe Obshchestvo Granberg, is a testament to the artistic and historical significance of the period. The intricate details and vivid colors showcase the mastery of the lithographic process, which was a popular method for producing high-quality prints during this time. The image is a valuable addition to any collection focusing on the art, history, or geography of Russia and Asia, offering a unique perspective on the meeting of frontiers and the rich tapestry of human experiences.
