A tense era in the remarkable city of Peter the Great, the "Venice of the North" is brought to life in this wonderful book. It "records the sights of a vanished world, mingls images of tsarist pomp and brutal poverty, of noblemen and peasants, smart shops and dismal factories, palaces and hovels." Many of the photos are published here for the first time. With introductory text for each section and descriptions for each of the 307 photos. Brings history to life.
