Légende

The Citadel Church, St. Petersburg, where the late Emperor's body lay in state, 1881. 'The Church of St. Peter and St. Paul is within the Citadel of St. Petersburg, on a small island of the river Neva, opposite the grand line of quays that contains the Winter Palace, the Admiralty, the Hermitage, the Theatre, and the Marble Palace. As it is in this Church that the mortal remains of the late Emperor [Tsar Alexander II who was assassinated] have been lying in state, previous to the concluding ceremony of his funeral, we present an Illustration of the building, which is distinguished by a very lofty and slender gilt spire'. From "Illustrated London News", 1881.
