EDITORS COMMENTS
RUSSIA: NIHILISTS, 1887. A gripping portrayal of Russian nihilists embarking on their arduous journey to Siberia. This wood engraving, created in English in 1887, captures the somber atmosphere surrounding these political prisoners as they face exile and repression. The image depicts a group of men clad in heavy overcoats, symbolizing the harsh conditions they will endure during their time in Siberia. Their faces reveal a mix of determination and resignation, reflecting the radical beliefs that led them to this fate. Guarded by an authoritative figure with a stern expression, these individuals represent the struggle against oppressive forces. This print offers a glimpse into the tumultuous period of Russian history when nihilism emerged as a powerful movement challenging traditional values and institutions. The term 'nihilist' refers to those who rejected established social norms and sought radical change through acts of protest or violence. As we observe this scene from more than a century ago, it serves as a reminder of the sacrifices made by those who fought for their convictions amidst great adversity. The Granger Collection's preservation of this historical artifact allows us to reflect on the enduring legacy left behind by these courageous individuals.
