EDITORS COMMENTS
Prince Alexander Sergeyevich Menschikoff, also known as Prince Menschikoff, was a prominent Russian military and political figure during the mid-19th century. He served as a commander in the Russian Navy and played a significant role in the Crimean War (1853-1856). In this engraving from the "Cassells Illustrated Family Paper," published in London between December 1853 and December 1854, Prince Menschikoff is depicted in full military regalia, showcasing the grandeur and intricacy of Russian military uniforms during that era. The portrait presents Menschikoff in a standing position, wearing a double-breasted, red military coat adorned with gold epaulettes and a sash across his chest. The epaulettes, which are a distinguishing feature of his rank as an admiral, are embellished with gold embroidery and a golden eagle insignia. The prince's uniform is completed with a white collar and cuffs, black trousers, and black boots. The background of the print is simple, with a plain, dark background that emphasizes the richness and detail of the prince's uniform. The overall impression is one of power, authority, and tradition, reflecting the importance of the military in Russian society during the 19th century. Prince Menschikoff's presence in this print serves as a reminder of the significant role he played in Russian history, particularly during the Crimean War. His military prowess and political acumen were instrumental in securing Russian victories and maintaining the Russian Empire's influence in Europe and beyond.
