EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to a road near St Petersburg, Russia in the year 1882. The image, originally published in the Illustrated London News on February 18th of that same year, showcases a snapshot of life during the 19th century. In this engraving, we see a horse-drawn cart making its way along the country lane. The passengers inside appear to be a family enjoying their journey through the Russian countryside. The monochrome aesthetic adds an air of nostalgia and timelessness to this scene. The stone walls lining the road create a sense of enclosure as they guide both travelers and horses towards their destination. It's fascinating how transportation has evolved over time, with horse-drawn vehicles being one of the primary means of travel during this era. The riders atop these majestic horses exude elegance and grace as they navigate through St Petersburg's streets. This print captures not only a moment frozen in time but also offers us glimpses into daily life in Russia at that period. As we gaze upon this historical photograph, we are reminded of how far we have come in terms of technology and transportation while appreciating the beauty and simplicity found within our past.
