One of the earliest photographic documents of Tbilisi's Botanical Garden area, captured by photographer A. Ivanitski in 1858. The image shows characteristic multi-story wooden houses with traditional Georgian balconies (sachnachebi) built into the steep hillside near the Tatar Cemetery. The photograph represents important documentation of mid-19th century urban architecture and the garden's early surroundings, just 13 years after the Botanical Garden's establishment in 1845. Original albumen print, 19 x 24 cm.
