Yaroslavl, a river city on the upper Volga about 250 kilometers northeast of Moscow, is the place this street scene records, with people and horse-drawn carriages sharing the roadway. The print dates to about 1918, the year after the revolutions of 1917 had upended Russian public life, and it captures an everyday street at a moment when horse transport still ruled city travel. Its catalog record notes a U.S. Copyright Office registration, a reminder that such images were often circulated through American channels. Look closely at the carriages and the figures on foot to see how the city moved before motor traffic became common.
