EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled 'Summer Residence of the Kara...Family, in Tambov, 1150 Versts from St. Petersburgh, Russia, 1850,' showcases an elegant summer palace nestled amidst a picturesque landscape. The grand estate is surrounded by lush greenery and an ornamental lake teeming with swans and other aquatic birds. The presence of flags hoisted on the towers signifies that the mistress and seigneur of the mansion are in residence. The architecture of the summer palace is ornate and impressive, with intricate details and decorative elements. The building is adorned with columns, balconies, and arches, reflecting the opulence and grandeur of the Russian nobility. The gardens surrounding the palace are meticulously maintained, with manicured lawns, flower beds, and trees providing a beautiful contrast to the stone and brick structures. This engraving, which was published in the Illustrated London News in 1850, serves as a window into the lifestyle of the Russian aristocracy during the Victorian era. The print, from the collection of The Print Collector, offers a glimpse into the world of the Russian nobility, where summers were spent in the countryside, enjoying the beauty of nature and the comforts of their grand estates. The flags on the towers, one for the mistress and the other for the seigneur, add a sense of tradition and formality to the scene, further emphasizing the grandeur and status of the Kara family.
