A Keen Eye
A monocled matron reads her newspaper on a bench in St. Petersburg, Russia. The image was published in a May 1971 story about life in the city, which was originally founded as St. Petersburg, but changed to Petrograd and later Leningrad, before returning to its original name is 1991 after the collapse of the Soviet Union. St. Petersburg spills across the banks and islets of the Neva River delta on the Gulf of Finland and is laced together by nearly 600 bridges.
