EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image captures the determined gaze and weathered features of a peasant-migrant, who has recently settled in the Irkutsk Province of Siberia in 1904. The photograph, created by Russian artist Boris Vasilievich Smirnov, is part of a series of drawings and watercolors he produced during his journey across Siberia as a prisoner transportee. The image depicts the man in a simple cotton shirt, worn trousers, and a thick beard, as he stands before a modest cottage with a ladder leaning against its side. A cart and buildings are visible in the background, suggesting a rural farming community. The artist's skillful use of charcoal and pencil creates a sense of depth and texture, bringing the scene to life. The peasant-migrant's expression conveys a sense of resilience and determination, reflecting the challenges and opportunities of starting a new life in a new place. This powerful image offers a glimpse into the lives of agricultural laborers during the early 20th century, and serves as an important historical record of the human experience of migration and settlement in Siberia.
