EDITORS COMMENTS
This hand-colored woodcut reproduction takes us back to a significant moment in Russian history. The image depicts the transformative era when Peter I, also known as Peter the Great, initiated his ambitious reforms by cutting off the long robes of the Russian boyars. These noble men, symbolized by the elegantly dressed figure in this illustration, were part of Russia's powerful aristocracy during the 17th and 18th centuries. Peter I's decision to modernize Russia included introducing Western customs and fashion into a society deeply rooted in tradition. By ordering the boyars' robes to be shortened or removed entirely, he aimed to break away from outdated styles associated with old-world nobility. The scene captured here transports us to Moscow during this pivotal period of change. It invites contemplation on how clothing can reflect societal shifts and political power dynamics. As we gaze upon this historic artwork, we are reminded that fashion has always played a role beyond aesthetics; it can serve as an instrument for reform and cultural transformation. This print not only offers a glimpse into Russian monarchy but also serves as a visual testament to Peter I's determination to propel his nation forward into modernity. It is an invaluable artifact that allows us to connect with our past while appreciating how far we have come since those times of grandeur and change.
