The album "City Port" is a large, beautiful and very well composed historical publication dedicated to the construction of St. Petersburg in the XVIII - early XX centuries.
The book successfully combines a thoughtful engineering approach and a fascinating presentation of facts, seasoned with a huge number of pictures - both a technical sense and an artistic one. Drawings are interspersed with reproductions of famous artists, and the details of the construction of certain designs - with funny historical jokes.
It would seem that there are a great many books on the history of St. Petersburg, why do you need another?
Album "City Port" presents this well -studied subject at a somewhat unusual angle - from the point of view of various water and near -water processes and structures.
Each chapter of the album "City Port" is devoted to things without which the existence of the city in the current form would be impossible: the creation of alluves and fortresses, the protection of floods, the construction of the channels, strengthen the embankments, construction
