You are bidding on a huge original antique print from an 1870s illustrated journal. It depicts a religious ceremoney commemorating the bicentennial of the birth of Peter the Great. 
Prominent in the picture is the Bronze Horseman statue of Peter the Great on Thunder Stone, the largest stone ever moved by humans.It stands in the Senate Square (formerly the Decembrists Square) in Saint Petersburg, Russia. It was created by the French sculptor Étienne Maurice Falconet. 

Peter the Great (Peter I or Pyotr Alekseevich, 1672 – 1725) ruled the Tsardom of Russia and later the Russian Empire from 1682 until his death in 1725, jointly ruling before 1696 with his elder half-brother, Ivan V. 

It is very large (double folio size), measuring approximately 21.5 x 15.75 inches (54.5 x 40 cm). The picture fills most of the page, with a caption below. There is unrelated text/photos on the back of this print.

The print has a fold in the middle, where it was folded into the magazine long ago. Note that the fold line is clean and undamaged, because it was "tipped" into the binding. This was a luxury binding technique of that era, because the double page prints were free of binding holes down the center.

The page is in excellent condition for its age. See scan for an accurate view of the condition.

This print will come with a Certificate of Authenticity.
