EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the haunting aftermath of a devastating fire that engulfed the Suvorin (Maly) theatre on 20 August 1901. The image provides a poignant view into the ruined auditorium, revealing the extent of destruction caused by the flames. The blackened walls and charred remnants of what was once an elegant interior stand as a testament to both the power of fire and the fragility of human creations. The intricate architecture, now reduced to ruins, hints at a grandeur that once filled this space with life and artistry. The photographer skillfully conveys a sense of melancholy through their lens, capturing not only physical devastation but also evoking emotions associated with loss and tragedy. It is as if time stands still within these walls, frozen in perpetual sorrow. This photograph serves as a historical document, preserving an important moment in Russia's cultural heritage. Despite its tragic subject matter, it offers us an opportunity to reflect on our own mortality and appreciate the resilience of those who rebuilt from ashes. Housed within a private collection, this rare lithographic print showcases Karl Karlovich Bulla's mastery behind his camera lens. Through his fine art images, he immortalizes this somber chapter in St Petersburg's history for generations to come.
