EDITORS COMMENTS
View of St Petersburgh: A Captivating Glimpse into Russia's Imperial Past This exquisite hand-coloured aquatint by Clark and Dubourgh, after Mornay, offers a captivating view of St Petersburgh as it appeared in 1815. Published by Edward Orme, this masterpiece showcases the grandeur and majesty of the Russian city, with its iconic Centre of the Great Bridge of the Neva at the heart of the composition. The Neva River, a vital waterway that runs through the city, is depicted with a serene, mirror-like surface, reflecting the elegant buildings and boats that line its banks. The Great Bridge, an engineering marvel of its time, spans the river with grace and strength, connecting the western and eastern parts of the city. St Petersburgh, the 'Window to the West,' is a city of contrasts, where modernity and tradition coexist. In this image, we see a mix of sailing ships and boats on the river, transporting goods and people, while horse-drawn carriages and coaches make their way along the cobblestone streets. The buildings, a blend of classical and baroque architecture, tower above the cityscape, their facades adorned with intricate details and vibrant colours. This stunning aquatint transports us back in time, allowing us to witness the history and beauty of St Petersburgh as it was over two centuries ago. The image invites us to explore the rich cultural heritage of Russia and to marvel at the architectural wonders that continue to inspire and captivate visitors to this day.
