Antonina Pirozhkova

Discover a rare piece of history with this original silver gelatin photograph, likely taken in the 1930s. This authentic vintage print, full of character and aged beauty, was carefully sourced from a flea market in Prague and held in my personal collection for years before being transformed into a stunning piece of art for your home.

The photograph is believed to depict Antonina Pirozhkova (1909–2010), a pioneering Soviet civil engineer and writer known for her role in the Moscow Metro’s construction and preserving the literary legacy of Isaac Babel.
