Annunciation Bridge in St. Petersburg c. 1820

C. Schultz's "Annunciation Bridge in St. Petersburg" is a lithograph depicting a view of the city of St. Petersburg, Russia, circa 1820. The artwork showcases the Annunciation Bridge, a vital crossing point over the Neva River. The print, now housed in the Art Institute of Chicago, provides a detailed glimpse into the city's urban landscape, featuring a cityscape with a church in the background, a ship docked at the riverbank, and pedestrians and carriages traversing the bridge. Schultz's work reflects the interest in urban panoramas and the development of lithography, a popular medium for depicting cityscapes in the 19th century.
