EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "POTEMKIN VILLAGE, 1787" we are transported back to a significant moment in history. Prince Grigori Potemkin, a trusted advisor and lover of Empress Catherine the Great of Russia, proudly showcases an idyllic village in the Crimea region. The year is 1787, and through the skilled hand of artist Richard Caton Woodville in his 1905 drawing, we witness this remarkable encounter. The image captures Prince Potemkin's desire to impress Empress Catherine with the apparent contentment and prosperity of the village. As they travel by carriage through its streets lined with thatched-roof cottages and log cabins, men and women go about their daily lives seemingly at peace. A young boy named Augusta stands beside them while Frederica, a little girl, curiously observes from afar. This carefully orchestrated scene symbolizes more than just a picturesque view; it represents Potemkin's efforts to deceive Catherine into believing that her empire was flourishing under his rule. The investigation into these so-called "Potemkin Villages" would later reveal that they were nothing more than elaborate facades designed to mask harsh realities faced by Russian serfs. As we gaze upon this historical snapshot frozen in time, let us remember not only the artistry behind it but also reflect on how appearances can sometimes be deceiving.
