Summary

  • The image presented here is from a collection of 239 drawings and illustrations made by the 19th century Siberian artist Mikhail Stepanovich Znamenskii(1833-92) between 1858 and 1891. From the West Siberian city of Tobolsk, Znamenskii was a well-known local historian, archaeologist, ethnographer, artist, and master of satirical prints and drawings. The collection reflects almost all aspects of his work. It includes drawings of artifacts from archaeological finds in the territory of West Siberia, sketches of nature, people, and cities, a few maps, and several satirical albums with caricatures and humorous sketches of everyday life of the people. Together, the illustrations in the collection give a portrait of the people of and physical conditions in West Siberia in the second half of the 19th century. The collection is held in the Tobolsk Historical and Architectural Museum-Reserve and was digitized for the Meeting of Frontiers digital library project in the early 2000s. Founded in 1870 as the Tobolsk Provincial Museum, the museum is one of the oldest in Siberia. World Digital Library.
