EDITORS COMMENTS
is an awe-inspiring black and white lithograph by Russian explorer Ivan Dem'ianovich Bulychev. This historic image captures an elevated view of the Old Fort of Yakutsk, located in the heart of Siberia, Russia. The fortification, a key frontier outpost during the 19th century, stands proudly on the banks of the Lena River. The Old Fort of Yakutsk, also known as Yakutsk Fortress or Yakutsk-1, was established in the late 1600s as part of Russia's expansion into Siberia. Bulychev's meticulous lithograph offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the fort's imposing walls, towers, and bastions. The image also reveals the bustling activity on the riverbank, with boats and people going about their daily business. The fortification served as a meeting point for various ethnic groups, including the indigenous Yakuts, Russians, and other settlers. This image is part of a larger collection of illustrations compiled by Bulychev, documenting his journey across Eastern Siberia and the Russian Far East. The collection, titled "A journey across eastern Siberia: Part 1, Trip to Kamchatka," is housed in the Prints Division of the National Library of Russia. The album consists of 64 finely drawn illustrations, most in color, taken from various publications and bound together. Bulychev's "View of the Old Fort of Yakutsk" is a testament to the rich heritage and history of Siberia and the Russian Far East. The image offers a unique perspective on the region's geography, architecture, and people during the 1850s, providing valuable insights into the past for future generations.
