EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph, titled "A Droshky-Drivers Tea-Stall" transports us to the bustling streets of St. Petersburg in early 20th century Russia. The print, created by Frederic de Haenen and now part of a private collection, captures a vibrant scene filled with energy and cultural richness. In this artwork, we see a tea-stall set up by droshky-drivers, offering respite for weary travelers and locals alike. The intricately detailed engraving showcases the diversity of people passing through this busy area – Russians going about their daily lives alongside Asians who have made St. Petersburg their home. The artist's attention to detail is remarkable; every figure seems to come alive as they engage in animated conversations or enjoy a warm cup of tea at the stall. Through his skilled use of light and shadow, Haenen creates an atmosphere that immerses us into the heart of this bustling city. This lithograph was originally commissioned as an illustration for the book "St Petersburg" published by A&C Black in 1910. It serves as both a historical document and a work of art that captures the essence of life in pre-revolutionary Russia. As we gaze upon this print from Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, we are reminded not only of the rich tapestry that is Russian culture but also how art has the power to transport us across time and space.
