Photographer: E. Huard (active 1850-1866). Views of St. Petersburg. 1860s. 11 albumen prints, mounted to board. Each ca. 17 x 23 cm or reverse (mounts ca. 31 x 42 cm or reverse). Some signed and numbered in the negative.

Taken by the prolific yet lesser-known photographer E. Huard, this lot offers an extensive photographic survey of Saint Petersburg in the early 1860s, encompassing many of its principal imperial landmarks, including Saint Isaac’s Cathedral, the Winter Palace, Smolny Monastery, the Monument to Nicholas I, the Bronze Horseman, and the Alexander Column. Additional views show Konnogvardeysky Boulevard, the Nikolaevsky Bridge, and Nevsky Prospekt, depicted both as a bustling urban artery animated by horse-drawn traffic and crowds and as the setting for a grand military parade with cavalry, infantry, and spectators lining the avenue.
