EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcoloured copperplate engraving depicts a breathtaking view of the ancient city of Novgorod, Russia, during the 18th century. Novgorod was the capital of the Novgorod Republic, which was the first political entity in Russia and predated the Grand Duchy of Moscow. The city is situated along the Volkhov River and is surrounded by lush greenery and rolling hills. At the center of the image, the impressive Kremlin fortress stands tall, with its red brick walls and onion-domed churches. The city's vibrant marketplace is bustling with activity, as merchants from various parts of Europe and Asia exchange goods. The fashionably dressed people of Novgorod can be seen going about their daily business, wearing the latest styles from Giulio Ferrario's "Costumes Ancient and Modern of the Peoples of the World," as depicted in this engraving by Giarrè. The city's rich history can be traced back to the 9th century when it was ruled by Prince Oleg, who is considered one of Russia's earliest rulers. Novgorod played a significant role in the spread of Christianity in Russia and was a major trading hub during the Middle Ages. The city's strategic location along the Volkhov River made it an essential trading post for goods from the Baltic Sea, the Black Sea, and the Caspian Sea. This stunning view of Novgorod offers a glimpse into the city's rich history and cultural significance during the 18th century. The intricate details of the engraving, from the buildings to the fashionable attire, provide a captivating window into the past and offer a unique perspective on the people and culture of Novgorod during this period.
