EDITORS COMMENTS
View of the Lena River at Ursk Gate," an exquisite chromolithograph by Russian artist Ivan Dem'ianovich Bulychev, captures the breathtaking beauty of the Lena River in the 1850s. This stunning image is part of a larger collection of illustrations documenting expeditions to Siberia and the Russian Far East, compiled by Bulychev, a member of the Imperial Russian Geographical Society. The print, taken from the publication "A journey across eastern Siberia: Part 1, Trip to Kamchatka," showcases the meeting of the frontiers of Russia and nature. The Lena River, a major geographical feature of Siberia, is depicted as it flows gracefully through the landscape, its water surface reflecting the vibrant colors of the surrounding scenery. The rocky Ursk Gate, a natural formation along the riverbank, adds an element of intrigue and wonder to the scene. Bulychev's masterful use of color and lithography techniques brings the landscape to life, capturing the essence of the region's diverse geology and geography. The illustration also offers a glimpse into the lives of the various ethnic groups who inhabited the area at the time, adding to the historical significance of the image. This chromolithograph is a testament to the rich cultural and scientific heritage of Russia during the 19th century. It is a reminder of the spirit of exploration and discovery that drove individuals like Bulychev to document the world around them, expanding our collective knowledge and appreciation for the natural wonders of our planet. The National Library of Russia and the Library of Congress are fortunate to have this and other illustrations from Bulychev's collection in their archives, preserving them for future generations to study and enjoy.
