This publication presents 223 photographs of the Naydenov family taken by Alexander Alexandrovich Naydenov - hereditary honorary citizen, manufactory advisor, speaker of the Moscow City Duma, director of the Yegoryevsk manufactory, the Khludov brothers commercial-industrial partnership and the Northern insurance company, a representative of a famous merchant family that actively participated in Moscow’s industrial, banking and social spheres of life in the XIX - early XX centuries. A.A. Naydenov’s amateur photographs shape an amazing sense of environment and time, becoming an idiomatic chronicle that tells a story about their author, his family with its traditions, and the lifestyle of eminent Moscow merchants at the turn of the century.
Photographs are accompanied by remarks from his contemporaries and commentaries from the editor.
