EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph, taken in 1913, captures the timeless scene of timber rafts on the Volga River in Russia. The image transports us back in time to an era when the mighty waterway was a vital artery for transportation and industry. The tranquil waters of the Volga are dotted with numerous rafts, each one laden with the precious cargo of timber. The logs, expertly stacked and secured, stretch high above the waterline, a testament to the skill and strength of the raftsmen who navigated these floating structures. But the timber is not the only cargo on these rafts. People and livestock, including cows, are also seen making their way across the river. The rafts provided an essential means of transportation for individuals and families, allowing them to travel from one place to another, often in search of better opportunities or to visit family and friends. The scene is one of bustling activity, with people working together to load and unload the rafts, while others tend to their livestock. The cows, with their bells jingling, seem unfazed by the journey, providing a sense of calm amidst the hustle and bustle. This photograph is a fascinating glimpse into the history of the Volga River and the important role timber rafting played in the region's transportation and industry. The wooden rafts, with their simple yet effective design, were a testament to the ingenuity and resourcefulness of the people who relied on them for their livelihoods and daily needs.
