EDITORS COMMENTS
The Outside Porter (litho) captures a serene moment in the bustling city of St. Petersburg, Russia. Created by Frederic de Haenen, this lithograph showcases the life of a Dvornik, or Yard-Porter, who is peacefully asleep amidst his duties. The print is part of a private collection and was originally featured as an illustration for the book 'St Petersburg' published by A&C Black in 1910. In this artwork, we see the porter resting against a wall with his eyes closed and head tilted slightly to one side. His traditional Russian attire and Asian features suggest cultural diversity within St. Petersburg during that time period. The image provides us with a glimpse into everyday life in early 20th-century Russia – where people from different backgrounds coexisted harmoniously despite their differences. It also highlights the importance of rest and rejuvenation even amidst busy urban environments. The artist's attention to detail is evident in every stroke of this engraving; capturing not only the physical attributes but also conveying a sense of tranquility through the portrayal of sleep. This print serves as both an artistic masterpiece and historical documentation, offering viewers an opportunity to reflect on the rich tapestry that makes up our world's diverse cultures.
