EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in history, showcasing Tsar Alexander II of Russia and his esteemed staff. Taken around 1900, the image depicts Alexander II seated between King Carol I of Romania on his left and Grand Duke Nicholas of Russia on his right. It is believed that this photograph was taken during the Russo-Turkish War of 1877-1878, a time when tensions ran high. Alexander II, known as The Liberator for emancipating the serfs in 1861, ascended to the throne in 1855 amidst the Crimean War. His progressive reforms aimed at modernizing Russia made him an influential figure both domestically and internationally. However, tragedy struck when he was assassinated by a bomb thrown by a member of the revolutionary group called Peoples Will. The composition showcases these three powerful leaders observing something with great intensity - possibly a battlefield or military personnel engaged in warfare. Their military uniforms add to their commanding presence while emphasizing their roles as key figures during this tumultuous period. This remarkable print offers us a glimpse into an era defined by political upheaval and power struggles. It serves as a reminder of the complex dynamics that shaped not only Russia but also neighboring countries like Romania during this transformative period in history.
