Peter the Great's Palace in the Summer Garden, St. Petersburg, 1858. Creator: Unknown
Peter the Great's Palace in the Summer Garden, St. Petersburg, 1858. This far-famed garden, which is the great lounge of the population of St. Petersburg, is on the Neva, close to the Troitzka bridge, and bounds the eastern end of the Champ de Mars...It is the oldest garden in the city, contains a number of tine old trees, and is therefore of incalculable value in the centre of the stony masses of the city...In one corner of the Summer Garden stands the palace in which dwelt Peter the Great. It is a little low, white house, with a few tasteless bas-reliefs, painted yellow...In the interior, a few articles of furniture, formerly used by Peter, are still preserved. The house seems to have grown ashamed of its littleness, for it hides itself completely among the tall linden-trees of the garden, as though fearful of intruding into the company of the stately palaces that have grown up around. How different it must have looked when it was yet sole lord of the wilderness-when it stood alone amidst a mob of fishermen's huts'. From "Illustrated London News", 1858

Peter the Great's Palace in the Summer Garden, St. Petersburg, 1858
EDITORS COMMENTS
is an enchanting photograph that captures the timeless beauty and historical significance of one of Russia's most cherished landmarks. The Summer Garden, located on the banks of the Neva River in St. Petersburg, is a tranquil oasis in the heart of the city, having served as a beloved retreat for its residents since its establishment in the late 18th century. This photograph, taken in 1858, showcases the garden in all its splendor, with its lush greenery, winding paths, and picturesque pavilions. At the eastern end of the Champ de Mars, the Summer Garden is the oldest and most valuable green space in the city, housing a number of ancient trees that add to its incalculable worth. In one corner of the garden stands the modest, white palace where Peter the Great once resided. The unassuming building, adorned with a few tasteless bas-reliefs and painted yellow, appears almost shy among the towering linden trees that surround it. Inside, a few relics from Peter's time still remain, preserving a piece of history that resonates with visitors even today. The palace, which once stood alone amidst a wilderness of fishermen's huts, now finds itself surrounded by the grandeur of the stately palaces that have risen around it. The photograph, taken from the pages of the "Illustrated London News" in 1858, offers a glimpse into the past, inviting us to imagine the stark contrast between the humble abode of Peter the Great and the opulent palaces that now dominate the St. Petersburg skyline.
