EDITORS COMMENTS
This intriguing caricature, entitled "I drove him from the throne before you," depicts the mysterious and infamous Grigori Rasputin in a satirical light, holding a tiny figure of Russia's last Tsar, Nicholas II, in one hand. The image, which dates back to the early 20th century between 1872 and 1916, showcases Rasputin's ominous presence and influence over the imperial family, who were ultimately overthrown in 1917. Grigori Rasputin, a Siberian peasant and self-proclaimed healer, gained notoriety in St. Petersburg society during the final years of the Russian Empire. He was known for his alleged ability to cure the hemophilia of Tsarevich Alexei, the heir to the throne, and gained the trust and favor of the Tsarina, Alexandra, and her husband, Tsar Nicholas II. However, Rasputin's influence over the imperial family and his unorthodox beliefs and behavior raised suspicions and concerns among the Russian nobility and clergy. This caricature captures the public's perception of Rasputin as a manipulative and sinister figure who held undue power over the Tsar and his family. The tiny figure of Nicholas II in Rasputin's hand symbolizes the Tsar's weakness and vulnerability, as well as the eventual downfall of the Romanov dynasty. The image serves as a poignant reminder of the complex and tumultuous history of Imperial Russia and the intrigue and power struggles that ultimately led to its demise. This caricature, with its historical significance and intriguing subject matter, is a must-have for any collection of Russian history or political satire. The image, which is available as a print from Mary Evans Prints Online, is a testament to the enduring fascination with the enigmatic figure of Grigori Rasputin and the tumultuous events that shaped the final years of the Russian Empire.
