Memories of Crimea. [Photo album]. Yalta: Publ. F. Orlov, 1900s. 47 collotype plates. The photographs show views of Balaklava, Gurzuf, Simeiz, Gaspra, the southern coast of Crimea, the Uchan-Su waterfall, the Assumption Skete in Bakhchisarai, and the Vorontsov Palace. The main interest to Crimea evolved in 1880-s with the works of Russian photographers – those from the photography workshops of Yalta (I. Nostits, F. Orlov, I. Semenov) and Sevastopol (K. Kolpakcheev, S. Rainish) and those who were coming to Crimea with scientific and archeological expeditions (I. Barschevsky, V. Mashukov). During their trips to the peninsula these and other professionals or amateurs were making pictures of the natural and architectural highlights of Crimea. The beginning of the XX century saw rise of the interest to this subject due to the intense tourism to the peninsula and rising popularity of photographic postcards.
