EDITORS COMMENTS
This half-length portrait captures the enigmatic and intellectual gaze of Sergei Mikhailovich Solov'ev (1820-1879), a renowned Russian historian and ethnographer, between the years 1880 and 1886. The image, which is currently housed in the Library of Congress, presents Solov'ev facing right, dressed in formal attire, with a thick beard that frames his face and adds to his distinguished appearance. Born in Siberia, Solov'ev made significant contributions to the study of Russian history, particularly in the areas of the Meeting of the Frontiers and the history of the Russian Orthodox Church. His groundbreaking works, such as "A History of Russia from the Earliest Times," were influential in shaping the historical narrative of Russia and its people. The photograph, which is reminiscent of the cartes de visite popular during the 19th century, offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us to a time when photography was a novel and intriguing means of capturing the likeness of notable figures. The image serves as a testament to Solov'ev's historic legacy and the rich heritage of Russian intellectual history. Despite the unknown identity of the photographer, this portrait remains a valuable addition to the Library of Congress's extensive collection of historical images, providing us with a tangible connection to the past and a reminder of the enduring importance of historical inquiry and preservation.
