EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print takes us back to the grandeur of the Imperial Palace of Peterhof in Saint Petersburg. The formal gardens at this magnificent palace were commissioned by none other than Peter the Great himself after his visit to the French royal court in 1717. The image showcases a breathtaking landscape with an array of fountains that stretch as far as the eye can see along the famous Avenue. Each fountain stands tall and proud, adding a touch of elegance to this imperial setting. As we gaze upon this monochrome masterpiece, we are transported to a time when imperialism reigned supreme. The exterior view captures not only the architectural beauty but also hints at the opulence that once filled these hallowed halls. The photograph's clarity allows us to appreciate every intricate detail meticulously captured by Underwood & Underwood studios. It serves as a reminder of Russia's rich history and its connection with European influences during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. Today, this iconic tourist attraction continues to draw visitors from around the world who marvel at its splendor. This stereoscopic card provides us with a glimpse into an era long gone but forever preserved through photography - a testament to both human creativity and our desire for exploration and discovery.
