EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the enchanting winter scene of St. Petersburg in the 19th century. Titled "View of the Imperial Bank and the Shops at St. Petersburg" this illustration for January from A Year in St. Petersburg takes us back to a time when snow-covered streets were adorned with elegant architecture and bustling shops. The focal point of this image is undoubtedly the grand State Bank, designed by renowned architect Giacomo Quarenghi. Its neo-classical facade stands tall and majestic against a backdrop of glistening white snow, showcasing both its architectural beauty and importance within the city. As we explore further, our eyes are drawn to the lively street scene below. A troika, a traditional Russian sleigh pulled by three horses abreast, glides gracefully through the snowy path while a coach and four make their way towards an unknown destination. The presence of these horse-drawn vehicles adds an element of movement and life to an otherwise serene winter landscape. Meticulously etched by John H. Clark and beautifully colored by M. Dubourg, this print captures not only the visual aesthetics but also evokes a sense of nostalgia for a bygone era in St. Petersburg's history. Displayed proudly in private collections worldwide, this stunning piece serves as a reminder that art has no boundaries when it comes to capturing moments frozen in time like this one from 1815 London - courtesy of Edward Orme's publishing house.
