EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white image, titled 'Odessa - The Theatre, 1854,' transports us back in time to the bustling port city of Odessa on the Black Sea. Historically claimed by both Russia and Ukraine, Odessa was a melting pot of cultures, as evidenced by the various nationalities and military uniforms seen in this street scene. The photo depicts the grand theatre, located in the city's large square, near the Hotel de Richelieu. The theatre was a cultural hub, hosting Italian Operas and French Plays throughout the year, as well as a Russian Theatre. The imposing architecture of the theatre stands proudly against the backdrop of the clear blue sky, while men in various uniforms and civilians go about their day on the lively street. Soldiers, likely from the Russian or Austrian armies, can be seen engaging with local residents and each other. This engraving, published in the esteemed 'Illustrated London News' in 1854, offers a fascinating glimpse into the rich history and diverse population of Odessa during the 19th century. The theatre remains an iconic symbol of the city's cultural heritage and continues to attract visitors from around the world.
