close-up, low-angle view of a bronze plaque mounted on a red brick building in Samara, Russia
Momentclose-up, low-angle view of a bronze plaque mounted on a red brick building in Samara, Russia. The plaque is rectangular with a darker, granite-like backing and features a bas-relief sculpture. Dominating the plaque is a bust of a man with a mustache, depicted wearing a suit and tie. To the left of the bust, there is a detailed relief of a multi-story building, possibly representing a factory or commercial establishment. To the right of the bust, there is another relief showing architectural elements. Below the sculptural elements, there is an inscription in Russian. The visible portion of the inscription reads: "В САМАРЕ 1881г. АЛЬФЕРУ, ФОН БАКАНO - ОСНОВАТЕЛЮ ТОВАРИЩЕСТВА ХИГУЛЕВСКАГО ПИВОВАРЕННАГО ЗАВОДА. ПРЕЗДРИНИМАТЕЛЮ. КОЛЛЕКЦИОНЕРУ И БЛАГОУСТРОИТЕЛЮ ГОРОДА САМАРЫ. ОТ БЛАГОДАРНЫХ ПОТОМКОВ. 2006г." This inscription appears to commemorate Alfer Fon Bakano, the founder of the "Zhigulevsky Brewery Company" in Samara in 1881. He is also described as an entrepreneur, collector, and benefactor of the city of Samara. The plaque was erected by grateful descendants in 2006. The building's exterior is constructed of red bricks, and the plaque is positioned above the second story. A metal gutter or decorative element runs horizontally above the plaque, and part of a balcony with wrought-iron railings is visible in the upper right corner of the frame. The lighting suggests it is daytime.
