Lot 185 | PHOTOGRAPHIES DU CAMP DE REFUGIÉS RUSSES…
PHOTOGRAPHIES DU CAMP DE REFUGIÉS RUSSES BLANCS DE L’ILE DE PROTI. Rare ensemble de 35 photographies de type cabinet (11,5 x 17 cm), dont 6 d’un format plus petit (8,5 x 14 cm), prises vers 1920-1921, représentant diverses vues d’un camp de l’URF (UNITED RUSSIAN FUNDS), organisation américaine d’aide aux émigrés russes blancs. Ce camp était situé sur l’Ile de Proti, en Turquie. Cette île, comprise dans l’archipel des îles des Princes au large de Constantinople, se nomme Proti en grec et Kinaliada en turc. L’une de ces photos porte au dos un annotation manuscrite due à Nadine Sergueïevna SOMOFF (1864-1940), seule représentante pour toute l’Europe de l’American Committe for the Education of Russian Youth in Exile, autre organisation américaine de secours aux réfugiés russes blancs. C’est très certainement à sa demande que ces photos ont été prises. La plupart d’entre elles représentent les exercices physiques de la jeunesse vivant dans le camp, exercices parfois effectués devant des spectateurs. Cet ensemble tout à fait exceptionnel permet de mettre en lumière un aspect totalement méconnu et oublié de l’émigration russe blanche. Provenance: Nadine Serguéïevna SOMOFF (1864-1940), puis par succession jusqu’au propriétaire actuel
