This print titled "A Dish of Tea from a Samovar" transports us to the enchanting city of St. Petersburg, Russia in the early 20th century. The image, captured by Frederic de Haenen, showcases a scene that is both culturally rich and visually stunning. In the foreground, we see a beautifully ornate samovar, an essential element in Russian tea culture. Its intricate design and gleaming brass surface exude elegance and tradition. As steam rises from its spout, it hints at the warmth and comfort that awaits those who partake in this cherished ritual. The focus then shifts to a group of workmen gathered around a table set with delicate teacups and saucers.

With each glance at this mesmerizing print, we are transported back to an era where tea
