EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the grandeur and elegance of the English Palace, a historic building that once stood on the western bank of the English pond in Peterhof, St. Petersburg, Russia. Built in the late 18th century under the orders of Catherine the Great, the English Palace was a key attraction in the Peterhof Grand Palace complex, which was designed to rival the famous Versailles Palace in France. The image, estimated to have been taken around 1909, shows the palace in all its glory, with its intricate white facade adorned with columns and decorative elements reflecting in the calm waters of the English pond. The lush greenery of the surrounding gardens adds to the serene and idyllic atmosphere. Sadly, the English Palace did not survive the tumultuous 20th century. It was demolished during the Soviet era, leaving only memories and photographs like this one to remind us of its former beauty and grandeur. Today, the site is a quiet and peaceful place, where visitors can still enjoy the stunning views of the English pond and the surrounding gardens. The photograph was taken by Grenville Collins, a renowned British photographer who traveled extensively throughout Europe and Russia in the early 20th century. His work captures the essence of the places and people he encountered, providing a valuable record of history and culture for future generations.
