Russia / Ivan Braginsky & “Virginia” / Alfred F. Jones - snapshot from Sitka, 1867

Summary:

Imperial Russia is finally able to touch the former Virginia after years of correspondence in Sitka, Alaska. America is captivated by his stalwart friend as they sit by a roaring fire in a Russian cabin in 1867.

(Outfits pulled from Wikipedia and from a Sitka museum display)

Notes:

I love this fic so damn much, it’s the moment right before the Bering Strait is crossed.

😝

Please read the original work for full context.
I’ve reread it multiple times- still rocks my socks.
It will make you appreciate landscape paintings in a new way :3c

(See the end of the work for more notes.)

Notes:

This was a challenge for me, I’m pretty weak in illustration and digital media! This took forever tbh; please enjoy my attempt at translating those awesome words into a illustration 😄
