Along the Banks of the Volga River - Mikhail Bukar
Masterpieces of the Russian photography from the second half of the 19th century in the collection of the National Library of Russia in Saint Petersburg. People of different nationalities who lived on the Volga banks are seen in the pictures made by Mikhail Bukar. He followed the old tradition of trying to transform his studio documentary photos into bright water-colour illustrations. He abundantly coloured the costumes of his studiously posing models, and painted imaginary backgrounds with a brush. This method automatically upset the specific character of photography, but considerably increased the cost.
