Tobolsk

Tobolsk is the historic capital of Siberia and is situated on the confluence of the Tobol and Irtysh Rivers.
The city was founded by Cossacks in 1585–1586 during the first Russian advance into Siberia, becoming the seat of the Viceroy of Siberia and prospered with trade with China and Bukhara. However, in the 1890s when the Trans-Siberian railway bypassed the town, its importance quickly faded. Following the Revolution of 1917, Emperor Nicholas II and his family were housed here, for a short time, in the former house of the Governor-General.

Music:
From Suite No.I in G minor, Op.7 by Anton Arensky

Dear friend Nigel, thank you very much for the wonderful album! Pictures taken from a distance, surprise and admire the clarity of small details... I watched your video from Tobolsk 1912 (colour photo), and compared with this album. I think these photos better and more interesting. New findings to the delight of all of us, your fans!:)
