EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the scenic Grande Avenue in Batum, Georgia, circa 1905. Batum, also known as Batoum or Batumi, is a vibrant coastal city located in the Autonomous Republic of Adjara, in western Georgia. At the time this image was taken, the region was under Russian rule. The cobblestone street, lined with tall, lush trees, exudes an air of tranquility and charm. The grandeur of the avenue is accentuated by the imposing figure of a Russian soldier standing at attention on the right side of the frame. His stern expression and immaculate uniform contrast sharply with the serene atmosphere of the scene, offering a poignant reminder of the historical context. The trees, adorned with their full autumn foliage, cast dappled shadows on the cobbles, adding depth and texture to the image. The gentle curve of the street, leading the eye towards the distant horizon, creates a sense of continuity and invites the viewer to explore the hidden stories of this beautiful and historic city. Batum's rich history is reflected in its architectural diversity, with influences from various cultures, including Greek, Roman, Ottoman, and Russian. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back in time to an era of grandeur and elegance. The image serves as a testament to the enduring allure of Batum and its unique character, making it a must-see destination for history enthusiasts and travelers alike.
