EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a rare and unexpected moment in history - Tsar Nicholas II of Russia, the 2nd emperor of the Russian Empire, taking a leisurely spin in a perissory (perissoire), a type of long canoe. The image, dating back to circa 1905, shows the powerful leader paddling solo on a serene lake or river, surrounded by gentle ripples.
It is truly an odd and unusual sight to see such an influential figure engaging in watersports transportation all by himself. The Tsar's expression is one of calm and contentment as he navigates the tranquil waters, perhaps seeking solace from his demanding role as ruler.
The juxtaposition of royalty with such a simple form of transport is surprising and somewhat surreal. It offers us a glimpse into the more private side of Tsar Nicholas II, showing him not as an imposing monarch but as a man enjoying a peaceful moment out on the water.
As we gaze upon this intriguing photograph, we are reminded that even those who hold great power are still human at heart. It serves as a poignant reminder that behind every title and position lies an individual seeking moments of peace and solitude amidst their responsibilities.
