Stake attention in this memory
The image shows a bronze bas-relief on a granite wall in Kolpino, Russia. The bas-relief depicts a scroll with text and an illustration of a wooden mill with water wheels. The scroll appears to be an official decree, with the text "УКАЗ ПЕТРА I" (Decree of Peter I) and a date "22 МАЯ 1719 г." (May 22, 1719). Below the decree, there are lines of text describing the relocation of a mill. The illustration shows trees on the left, a log cabin-style mill with visible beams and a pitched roof, and two water wheels embedded in the stone base of the mill, with water flowing around them. At the bottom left of the bas-relief, there is a circular emblem featuring a double-headed eagle, the coat of arms of Russia. The bas-relief is set against a speckled granite background. The overall scene appears to commemorate a historical event related to the establishment of industry or infrastructure in Kolpino.
