EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning hand-colored copperplate engraving captures the grandeur of The Ice Palace built in St. Petersburg in the winter of 1740 by Empress Anna Ivanovna. The palace, adorned with intricate ice sculptures and towering spires, was a marvel to behold during the cold Russian winter.
Two ice dolphins can be seen spewing flaming naphtha at night, adding an element of enchantment to the already magical scene. Additionally, ice cannons and mortars were fired, creating a spectacle that must have been truly awe-inspiring for those lucky enough to witness it.
