EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the majestic Moscow City Hall in Russia during the 1910s. Designed by architect Dmitry Chicagov, this iconic building was constructed in the late 19th century and became a symbol of local government authority. The photograph showcases its impressive exterior, highlighting its grandeur against the backdrop of a bustling city street. However, history took an unexpected turn with the Russian Revolution of 1917, leading to significant changes for Moscow City Hall. The Moscow City Duma was disbanded, and subsequently, the building found new purpose as it was transferred to house part of the collection of the State Historical Museum. This transition speaks volumes about how political shifts can reshape architectural landmarks into cultural institutions. The monochrome image offers a glimpse into daily life at that time - people going about their business while horse-drawn carriages traverse along the road. It serves as a visual testament to both transportation methods prevalent during that era and societal norms within early 20th-century Russia. Preserved within the archives of the Russian State Film and Photo Archive in Krasnogorsk, this historic photograph not only provides us with a window into our past but also reminds us of how architecture can evolve alongside changing political landscapes.
