Russia: Siberia: Klyuchi, 1909
- Extent:
- 42 prints
- Scope and content:
-
This small series documents Shockley's travels in late summer and early fall to Klyuchi, a remote and cold rural town on the Kamchatka River, where he surveyed and assessed gold mining operations. There he photographed the mine manager Harper and his family, log buildings at the mining camp, and nearby forests and rivers. There are also two views of passenger boarding a steamer near Stretensk, on the Shilka River. A sequence of 12 images of a woman and several boys taken in an unidentified park setting may not be related to this trip, or may have been taken at the start or end of the journey.
