EDITORS COMMENTS
This postcard print showcases the iconic Potemkin Steps in Odessa, Ukraine, dating back to the turn of the 20th century. The vibrant colors and intricate details captured through lithography transport us to a bygone era, allowing us to marvel at this architectural masterpiece. The Potemkin Steps, also known as Escalier du Boulevard Nicolajevski, were built between 1837 and 1841 and have since become an emblematic symbol of Odessa. This grand staircase consists of 192 steps that gracefully cascade down towards the city's bustling harbor. Its construction was not only intended for practical purposes but also aimed to create a visually striking entrance from the seafront into the city center. As we gaze upon this image, we are immediately drawn to the sheer scale and elegance of these stairs. Each step seems meticulously carved out with precision, leading our eyes upwards towards a distant vanishing point. The play of light on each individual step adds depth and dimension to this already impressive structure. The Russian School artist who created this lithograph has skillfully brought out every minute detail - from ornate railings adorned with delicate patterns to intricately designed balustrades lining both sides of the staircase. Through their artistry, they have managed to capture not just a physical structure but also its historical significance within Ukrainian culture. This postcard print serves as a visual reminder of Odessa's rich architectural heritage while offering us a glimpse into life at the beginning of the 20th century. It is indeed an exquisite piece that transports us back in time and allows us to appreciate both its artistic value and historical importance.
