EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Sketches at St Petersburg" takes us back to the 19th century, offering a glimpse into the bustling streets of this Russian city. The engraving, created by an English School artist, showcases a myriad of scenes and characters that bring St Petersburg to life. In this intricate composition, we are transported through time as we observe blind beggars seeking alms from passersby while carriages gracefully navigate the busy streets. A knife grinder diligently sharpens his tools nearby, adding to the symphony of sounds echoing throughout the city. The frozen Neva River serves as a backdrop for this vibrant tableau. Here, a sledge driver skillfully maneuvers his horse-drawn sled across the icy surface while monks and nuns traverse its banks. Street traders peddle their wares with enthusiasm, capturing our attention with their colorful displays. As our eyes wander further into the scene, we catch sight of a Tartar pedlar showcasing exotic goods from faraway lands. This juxtaposition highlights St Petersburg's position as both an Eastern and Western hub in Europe. With each glance at this remarkable print, we are reminded of how art can transport us through time and space. It allows us to witness daily life in St Petersburg during an era long gone but forever preserved within these sketches captured by talented hands centuries ago.
