EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of the Underground Railway in Leningrad during the 1970s. Created by artist CM Dixon, this image showcases a moment frozen in time within one of the deepest metro systems in the world. The Saint Petersburg Metro, which opened its doors on November 15th, 1955, is not only renowned for its depth but also for its typical Soviet designs and decorative elements that make it truly mesmerizing. In this particular scene, we see a woman engrossed in her reading while seated inside a train carriage. The underground station's ambiance surrounds her with an air of mystery and intrigue as she delves into another world through literature. This snapshot perfectly encapsulates city life during this era - bustling yet serene, fast-paced yet introspective. The addition of new tunnels to this already impressive transportation system in June 2004 further solidifies its significance as a symbol of progress and innovation. As we gaze upon this photograph today, we are transported back to a different time - a time when Russia was known as the USSR and Leningrad was still referred to as Petrograd. Through CM Dixon's lens, we catch glimpses of history unfolding beneath our feet - reminding us that even underground railways hold stories waiting to be discovered.
