View of Arbat Street in winter, Moscow, Russia, early 20th century. In existence since the 15th century, Arbat Street is one of the oldest streets in Moscow. By the 18th century it had become the most fashionable residential street in the city, but most of its buildings were destroyed in the fire that occurred after Napoleons occupation of the city in 1812. After it was rebuilt, Arbat Street was inhabited by minor nobility, artists and academics. Found in the collection of the Russian State Film and Photo Archive, Krasnogorsk.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the enchanting winter scene of Arbat Street in early 20th century Moscow, Russia. Steeped in history, Arbat Street dates back to the 15th century and stands as one of the oldest streets in the city. However, its grandeur was not without challenges, as a devastating fire ravaged most of its buildings after Napoleon's occupation in 1812. Resiliently rebuilt, Arbat Street became a haven for minor nobility, artists, and academics. The image showcases the street's architectural beauty with cobbled cobblestones lining its path. A horse-drawn cart gracefully traverses through the snow-covered road while people go about their daily lives against this picturesque backdrop. Preserved within the esteemed Russian State Film and Photo Archive in Krasnogorsk, this photograph offers us a glimpse into a bygone era. Its monochromatic charm evokes nostalgia for simpler times when transportation relied on horses rather than modern vehicles. Arbat Street remains an iconic symbol of Moscow's rich cultural heritage and historical significance. This fine art image encapsulates not only the physical beauty of this renowned street but also serves as a testament to resilience and rebirth after adversity.
