Give a Cheer
These are photos I took of my samovar for various mini challenges in the Photo of the Day group here in February 2010. I was able to cut the title with my Cricut in Russian because there happen to be no Cyrillic characters in this word that don't look like letters in the Roman alphabet.
Journaling says: I am fascinated by Russian history and culture. I've read many of the great works by Dostoevsky, Tolstoy, Chekhov, Turgenev, and Zamyatin, and I studied two years of Russian language at Notre Dame. This interest began, perhaps, when, as a child, I read Katrinka by Helen Eggleston Haskell. So, when I had the chance to acquire this antique Russian samovar, I jumped at it. Samovars, used to boil water for tea, were a central component of Russian family life. Mine was manufactured in Tula, a suburb of Moscow, by the Batashev brothers in the late 19th century, most likely during the reign of Czar Alexander II.
This is for the October PageMaps Challenge - #5.
