Images of a rarely seen Ghost City, from the documentation of Prof. Bernhard Brandt The presence on some mounts of a stamp linked this group of vintage silver prints to a German geographer Bernhard Brandt (21.3.1881 Berlin - 20.1.1938 Prag). The captions point out only monuments and historical walls, but the photographs captured rare vision of empty streets and ghosty silhouettes. The presence of fires near a church and the general feeling of hunger among the rare humans indicate we are after November 1917. The bibliography of Prof. Brandt precise his interest for Russia around the year of 1920 with several articles and atlases, before he focused on Brasil.
