Title: Arkhangelsk on a Dutch engraving 1765. (set of postcards)
Year: 1765
Pages: set of 16 postcards + cover (2 sides)
The 18th century left us several excellent engravings depicting Arkhangelsk, made by Dutch artists. Of particular value among them is an engraving dating back to 1765, by an unknown master. Arkhangelsk is depicted on it in the form of a sweep of the embankment facade from Kuznechikha to Byk, which according to current measurements is from the Solombala Bridge to the railway. Moreover, every more or less noticeable building in the panorama of the city is numbered, and its name is included in the caption included in the engraving . This is a remarkable source of knowledge about the city’s past in its richness and depth. There is almost nothing left from that Arkhangelsk, except the Trinity Church, which is on the corner of Komsomolskaya Street, and a tiny piece of the once grandiose Gostiny Dvors, now adjacent to Voskresenskaya Street.
