Nikolaevsk-on-Amur. Melting gold in the laboratory, 1900. Creator: Unknown
Nikolaevsk-on-Amur. Melting gold in the laboratory, 1900. Postcard from a collection of 103 postcards of the city of Nikolayevsk-on-Amur in the early 20th century. The collection provides a unique photographic record of the development of the city and of the lower Amur region in this period. The cards offer views of the architectural appearance of the old city (especially valuable, because during the Russian Civil War Nikolayevsk-on-Amur was destroyed and burnt), as well as of the culture, daily life, and occupations of residents, and of the different ethnic groups that made up the population of the region.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment in time in Nikolaevsk-on-Amur, showcasing the intricate process of melting gold in a laboratory in 1900. The postcard is part of a remarkable collection of 103 postcards that offer a glimpse into the development of this city and the lower Amur region during the early 20th century.
The images on these postcards provide valuable insights into the architectural beauty of old Nikolaevsk-on-Amur, which tragically fell victim to destruction and fire during the Russian Civil War. Beyond just buildings, they also shed light on the culture, daily life, and diverse occupations of its residents.
In this particular photograph, we see a man hard at work in his protective clothing as he carefully tends to melting gold. His concentration is palpable as he carries out his profession with precision and skill. This snapshot not only showcases an important aspect of industry at that time but also highlights the craftsmanship and dedication of those who worked tirelessly behind-the-scenes.
Through these historical artifacts preserved by institutions like the Nikolaevsk-on-Amur Museum of Municipal History and Folklife, we are able to connect with our past and gain a deeper appreciation for the rich heritage that shapes our present-day world.
