Description
This intricately detailed plan of St. Petersburg was originally created by the Society for the Diffusion of Useful Knowledge in the 1830s. This example was updated by Joseph Meyer as part of his impressive Grosser Hand-Atlas in 1854.
The Russian capital is situated at the mouth of the Neva River, which splits into several branches and creates a distinctive local geography of numerous islands connected by a handful of bridges. Various locations of interest are labeled, including the Citadel (Peter and Paul Fortress), the Winter Palace, and St. Isaac’s Cathedral. Numerous other examples of the impressive architecture are provided in the surrounding vignettes, 18 in total.
