EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and captivating print showcases a colourful lithograph of Michael Michaeilovitch, The Grand Duke of Russia. Created by an English School artist in the 19th century, this piece is part of a private collection and offers a unique glimpse into the world of Russian royalty. The image captures the grandeur and opulence associated with the Russian aristocracy during that time period. The Grand Duke himself is depicted with great attention to detail, his regal attire adorned with intricate patterns and embellishments. His stern expression exudes authority while also hinting at his larger-than-life personality. What makes this lithograph particularly intriguing is its satirical nature. Originally published as a cartoon in Vanity Fair on January 4th, 1894, it serves as scathing satire towards Michael Michaeilovitch's character. Likely drawn by A. G Witherby, it portrays him engaging in a game of tennis - an unexpected activity for someone of his stature. The inclusion of Asian elements adds another layer to this caricatured portrayal. With Asia being symbolically represented through various stereotypes such as "Asian Asian Asian" it highlights the perception and influence that Russia had over these regions during that era. Overall, this print not only presents us with a visually stunning artwork but also invites us to delve deeper into the social dynamics and political climate surrounding Russian royalty at the turn of the century.
