Chapel on the site where the city of Belozersk was founded in ancient times... 1909. Creator: Sergey Mikhaylovich Prokudin-Gorsky
Chapel on the site where the city of Belozersk was founded in ancient times [Belozersk, Russian Empire], 1909. First mentioned in Russian chronicles for the year 862 A.D. the town of Belozersk or "White Lake" was abandoned and relocated several times. The original settlement, commemorated here by a small nineteenth-century wooden chapel, was on the north side of the White Lake in north central European Russia. Russian chemist and photographer Sergey Prokudin-Gorsky (1863-1944) was a pioneer in colour photography which he used to document early 20th-century Russia and her empire, including the vanishing way of life of tribal peoples along the Silk Route in Central Asia. In a railway-carriage darkroom provided by Czar Nicholas II, Prokudin-Gorsky used the three-colour photography process to record traditional costumes and occupations, churches and mosques - many now Unesco World Heritage sites - as well as modernisation in agriculture, industry and transport
