EDITORS COMMENTS
This 19th century print depicts the picturesque Lifland Province, as it appeared in 1856. Part of the historic region of Livonia in Europe, Lifland was then a part of the Russian Empire. The front of this souvenir card showcases the province's unique blend of agriculture and aquatic life. The fertile farmlands are dotted with crops, such as wheat and barley, while the nearby rivers teem with fish, including salmon and herring. In the background, we see the quaint buildings and charming villages that were typical of Lifland's rural areas. The back of the card provides a wealth of information about the province's history, culture, and economy. A map of the region is accompanied by the provincial seal, which features a griffin, a symbol of strength and protection. The card also reveals that Lifland had a population of approximately 300,000 inhabitants and that its chief industries included agriculture, fishing, and the postal service. The local costume of the inhabitants is also depicted, featuring traditional garments such as the long, flowing skirts and embroidered shirts worn by the women. This beautifully illustrated card is one of a set of 82, each representing a different province of the Russian Empire as it existed in 1856. It serves as a fascinating glimpse into the past, offering a glimpse into the rich heritage and history of Lifland Province and the broader Russian Empire.
