This photograph, "Man op paardenslee aan de voet van een berg aan de militaire weg van Georgië", was taken by Dimitri Ivanovitch Ermakov, a Russian photographer, in the late 19th century. The image captures a horse-drawn sleigh in the snowy landscape of the Georgian Military Highway, a historic route across the Caucasus Mountains. This snapshot provides a glimpse into the daily life of people travelling through this challenging terrain, highlighting the harsh yet beautiful environment of the region. The photo, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, is an example of Ermakov's work documenting the diverse landscapes and people of the Caucasus.
