EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the renowned Russian novelist, Count Lev Nikolayevich Tolstoy, in his study at his estate in Iasnaia Poliana, Russia, in the year 1908. The image, taken by the celebrated photographer Sergey Mikhaylovich Prokudin-Gorsky, offers a glimpse into the intimate world of one of the greatest literary figures of the 19th century. Tolstoy, dressed in a simple, rustic attire, sits at his desk, surrounded by an abundance of books and documents. The bookshelves behind him are filled with an impressive collection of literature, reflecting his vast knowledge and intellectual curiosity. The room, with its warm, sepia tones, exudes a sense of calm and tranquility, as if inviting us to delve deeper into the author's thoughts and ideas. Prokudin-Gorsky, a pioneer in the field of color photography, expertly captures the essence of this historic moment. His meticulous attention to detail and mastery of the medium are evident in the rich textures and subtle shades that bring the scene to life. This photograph is not only a testament to the legacy of two great Russian artists but also a window into a bygone era, offering a glimpse into the life of a literary giant and the world of ideas that shaped his work. The photograph, part of an album titled 'Various views and studies' in the collection of the Library of Congress, serves as a reminder of the enduring power of literature and the importance of preserving our cultural heritage for future generations.
