EDITORS COMMENTS
This chromolithograph depicts a serene scene of Lake Baikal, the world's deepest freshwater lake, located in Siberia, Russia. The image captures the pier of Mysovaya station, with excavations taking place near the rocky shore. The lake's crystal-clear waters reflect the vibrant colors of the surrounding landscape, as the snow-capped mountains and rocks blend seamlessly with the sky. The pier, with its distinctive red roof, serves as a reminder of the early communication and transportation infrastructure that connected the remote regions of Transbaikal Russia. The geological excavations suggest scientific exploration and discovery, as the rich natural resources and unique geological formations of the area were a source of fascination for both Russian and international scientists during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The melting snow and ice on the lake's shore add a sense of transience to the scene, as the seasons continue to ebb and flow. This beautiful and historic print, created between 1904 and 1917, is a testament to the enduring allure of Lake Baikal and the natural wonders of Siberia. The image, produced as a lithograph or lithotint by D.P. Efimova, was likely used as a postcard or promotional material for travel to the region. Today, it serves as an important piece of heritage art, providing a glimpse into the past and a reminder of the rich history and natural beauty of Russia's far eastern frontier.
