EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the year 1883, where an unknown creator captured the awe-inspiring Mammoth of St. Petersburg. The image is sourced from a publication called "St. Nicholas: Volume X. Part I" which was published by Scribner & Co in New York during that era. The photograph showcases this magnificent creature from the Pleistocene geological period, reminding us of its prehistoric existence and subsequent extinction. Standing tall in a museum exhibition in St. Petersburg, Russia, the mammoth's immense size and impressive tusks command attention. Intriguingly monochrome, this image transports us to a time when scientific exploration and curiosity about our planet's history were at their peak. The background people add depth to the scene, emphasizing both the scale of this ancient animal and its ability to captivate audiences across different centuries. As we gaze upon this remarkable illustration brought to life through photography, we are reminded of America's fascination with natural wonders during the 19th century. This print serves as a testament to humanity's continuous quest for knowledge about our world's past while also highlighting how far science has come since then. With Leningrad (now known as St. Petersburg) serving as its location, this photograph holds historical significance not only for Russia but also for the United States - bridging two countries through shared scientific exploration. Overall, this print captures an extraordinary moment frozen in time – an enduring symbol of discovery and wonder that continues
