Very little is known about Mikhail Isidorovich Dubrovsky – an ethnographer and photographer, while still a student he went to Crimea, where in the summer of 1908 he took an invaluable series of photographs of the Crimean Tatars of the southern coast. Dozens of photographs capturing the everyday life of the people, the atmosphere of villages, coffee houses and the interior decoration of houses, many portraits of ordinary people – Dubrovsky’s works allow us to look into Crimea as it was more than a hundred years ago.
