Kostroma's Assumption Cathedral, shown here with its entrance (the title's "vkhod" means the way in), stands on the Volga River in the old Russian town of Kostroma, a few hundred miles northeast of Moscow. The cathedral dates to the sixteenth century and is known for its cluster of onion domes, which the subject headings flag as a defining feature. This small square print, dated around 1910 in the record, is a modest album photograph, but it captures a church that was central to the religious life of the Volga region and whose architecture reflects the traditions of pre-Petrine Russia.

Medium1 photographic print (mounted in album) ; 8 x 8 cm.
