1867

Here I present an album of photographs by the Russian photographer, Mikhail Petrovich Nastyukov, taken in 1867 along the River Volga.
These include views of the towns of Kalyazin and Mologa, now both submerged under water.
Biographical details of Nastyukov are very sketchy. Dates of his birth and early years are non existent. We do know that he was a photographer from 1858. In 1860 he founded this own school in Nizhny Novgorod, followed in 1862 by one in Moscow on Sretenka and in 1877…….
From 1868 he enjoyed the partonage of the tsarevich Alexanader Alexandrovich, even accompanying him and the Empress on a journey, in 1869, to Nizhny Novgorod Fair. Also known is that one of his students enrolled in his school in 1870 was Maxim Dmitriev, the later famous photographer and chronicler of the River Volga.
