St. Isaac's Cathedral rises over its green garden in this hand-coloured photochrom from about 1895, with an eighteenth-century map of St. Petersburg inside. The cathedral took forty years to build, from 1818 to 1858, and its great dome is covered with gold. For someone who loves travel and old cities.
