"Alley of Chamaerops excelsus, Windmill Palm" from the World Digital Library |
We know this palm now as Trachycarpus fortunei.
The photographer was Sergei Mikhailovich Prokudin-Gorskii (1863–1944). From the description, this photo would have been taken somewhere from 1905 to 1915.
See other pictures in this collection of the Russian Empire. Incredible!
