An interesting collection of 4 original antique photographs from the historical Krasnokutsky family archive, dating to the early 20th century, circa 1900–1910s.
The photographs depict family members, children, rural landscapes, traditional countryside life, and domestic animals during the final years of the Russian Empire.
The archive is associated with the Krasnokutsky family, whose history includes connections with Kremenchuk, Poltava Governorate, and Kaharlyk, Kyiv Governorate, where a family member reportedly served between 1912 and 1917.
The photographs may have been taken in Ukraine, possibly in Kyiv or Poltava Governorate, although the exact location has not been established.
The collection includes:
