EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Alexander II, the Czar of Russia from 1855 to 1881. The steel engraving, created in 1871 by Alonzo Chappel, beautifully captures the essence of this influential ruler. In the image, Alexander II stands tall and proud, donning a magnificent uniform adorned with medals and epaulettes that symbolize his military prowess. His regal presence is accentuated by his royal attire and distinguished beard and mustache. The artwork transports us back to the 19th century, offering a glimpse into Russian history during the era of Tsarism. As we gaze upon this engraving, we are reminded of the power and authority held by members of the Romanov dynasty. Alexander II's reign was marked by significant reforms aimed at modernizing Russia. He abolished serfdom in 1861, bringing about substantial changes to social structures within the country. However, despite these progressive measures, he faced numerous challenges throughout his rule. This print serves as a testament to Alexander II's legacy as an influential leader who left an indelible mark on Russian history. It invites us to reflect on his contributions while appreciating both the artistic skill behind Chappel's painting and Granger Art on Demand's dedication to preserving historical images for generations to come.
