EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and captivating print showcases a poster advertising Skobeleff at the Hippodrome in 1895. Created by Jules Cheret, a renowned French artist, this colour lithograph captures the essence of General Mikhail Skobelev, also known as the White General or White Pasha. General Skobelev was a prominent figure who fought valiantly in the Russo-Turkish war of 1877. His untimely death due to a heart attack left many mourning his loss. This poster serves as both a tribute to his memory and an invitation to witness his remarkable story unfold at the Hippodrome. The image features an impressive portrait of General Skobelev, exuding strength and determination. He is depicted alongside flags symbolizing patriotism and valor. The theatre setting adds an element of grandeur, hinting at the epic tale that awaits those who attend. Intriguingly, horses play a significant role in this artwork - not only as majestic creatures but also representing power and loyalty associated with military might. Their presence evokes images of battlefields where General Skobelev led his troops fearlessly. This print transports us back in time, allowing us to appreciate both the artistic prowess of Jules Cheret and the historical significance surrounding General Mikhail Skobelev's life. It serves as a reminder of bravery, sacrifice, and admiration for those who have dedicated their lives to serving their country.
