EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving captures the grandeur and solemnity of The Russian Bicentenary Festival at St Petersburg. In the foreground, a religious ceremony takes place in front of the magnificent statue of Peter the Great, an iconic figure in Russian history. The scene is filled with a sense of reverence as participants engage in this ceremonial moment. The artist, Charles Robinson, skillfully portrays the atmosphere of this significant event. His attention to detail brings to life every aspect of the festival - from the ornate costumes worn by attendees to the intricate decorations adorning the surroundings. Through his artistry, we are transported back to 1872 when this illustration was first published in The Illustrated London News. The festival itself commemorates two hundred years since Peter the Great founded St Petersburg and celebrates Russia's rich cultural heritage. It serves as a reminder of their enduring traditions and deep-rooted spirituality. As we gaze upon this print, we cannot help but be captivated by its historical significance and artistic beauty. It offers us a glimpse into a time long gone yet still resonating with importance today. This engraving is not just an image; it is a testament to human creativity and our desire to honor our past through ceremonies that connect us with something greater than ourselves.
