EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in history as sailors from the Russian warships Varyag and Korietz are received by the imperial court in St Petersburg. The vibrant colors of this lithograph bring to life the grandeur and splendor of the occasion. The image tells a tale of heroism and sacrifice, as both ships were scuttled by their crews after valiantly fighting against superior Japanese forces at the Battle of Chemulpo Bay during the Russo-Japanese War. The wounded sailors, with their bandaged limbs, stand proudly before Emperor Nicholas II and Empress Alexandra Feodorovna, who greet them with admiration and gratitude. In this scene, we witness not only a royal presentation but also an acknowledgment of bravery amidst tragedy. The survivors are hailed as heroes for their unwavering loyalty to their country despite facing insurmountable odds. The presence of medical personnel in the background reminds us of the importance placed on healthcare during this time. Asclepius, symbolizing healing and medicine in Greek mythology, stands tall above them all, signifying hope for recovery and restoration. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by these brave sailors and sheds light on an important chapter in naval warfare history. It is a testament to their courage that they are presented before royalty for their selfless acts on behalf of Russia's navy.
