EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning etching, titled 'A Perspective View of the Borders of the Neva, going up the River between the Admiralty and the buildings of the Academy of Sciences, at St Petersburg, in Russia,' was created by Robert Sayer and Robert Watts in 1756. The view depicts the Neva River in Saint Petersburg, Russia, as seen from against the current. The image captures the grandeur of the city's architectural landscape, with the Admiralty and the Academy of Sciences buildings standing proudly on either side of the river. The Neva River was a vital transportation route for the city, connecting it to the Baltic Sea and facilitating the movement of goods, people, and military forces. In this image, we can see several sailing ships and galleons anchored along the embankment, ready for departure or loading. The presence of cannons on the ships and the buildings suggests the importance of military strength in the city's defense. The etching is a testament to the artistic and geographical exploration of Saint Petersburg during the 18th century. It was a time when European powers, including Britain and the Netherlands, were expanding their influence and knowledge of the world. The image is also a reflection of the city's rich cultural heritage, which blended Russian, Dutch, and Western European influences. Today, this etching is a valuable addition to the collections of many museums, including the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam and the State Hermitage Museum in St Petersburg. It offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when Saint Petersburg was a burgeoning city, full of promise and potential.
