Elim Pavlovich Demidov

Master of the Hunt of the Imperial Court, hereditary trustee of the Demidov House for the Care of Workers (from 1894 on, the “Anatoly Demidov” House), where Prokudin-Gorsky served as a full member from 1890 into the 1900s. The two did not maintain personal contact, but Prokudin-Gorsky gave great attention to photographing places with Demidov connections.
