Russia n Pre-revolutionary photographs - Petropavlovsk

Here I present a series of photographhs of the city of Petropavlovsk at the end of the 19th century when it was part of the Russian Empire.

Petropavlovsk, now known as Petropavl , is a city on the Ishim River in northern Kazakhstan close to the border with Russia, about 261 km west of Omsk along the Trans-Siberian Railway. It is the capital of the North Kazakhstan Province

Petropavlovsk was founded in 1752 as a Russian fort extending Russian settlement and influence into the nomadic Kazakh territories to the south. The fort got its name after two Christian saints, apostles Peter and Paul. It was granted the status of city in 1807. The city was an important trading centre for silk and carpets until the Russian Revolution.
