EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the intricate iron-cast railings of the Summer Garden in Saint Petersburg, Russia, as they separate the serene park from the bustling Palace Embankment. The railings, installed between 1771 and 1784, are a delicate and ornate feature of this historic garden, which occupies an island between the Fontanka, Moika, and Swan Canal. The Summer Garden, established in 1710 by Peter the Great, is one of the oldest and most beautiful parks in Saint Petersburg. The photograph, taken in 1909 by the renowned Russian painter and photographer Georgi Kreskentevich Lukomski (1884-?), showcases the railings in all their intricacy and elegance. The delicate ironwork, with its intricate patterns and scrollwork, adds a sense of refinement and sophistication to the scene. The public walkway along the Palace Embankment, teeming with activity and life, is juxtaposed against the tranquility of the garden, creating a striking contrast. This photograph is a testament to the enduring beauty of Saint Petersburg's historic gardens and the artistry of Lukomski, who captured the essence of this scene over a century ago.
