EDITORS COMMENTS
This frontispiece print from 1913 showcases Alexander Griboyedov, the renowned Russian playwright and diplomat. The image is a part of the comedy "Woe from Wit" which was written by Griboyedov himself. Found in the esteemed Collection of Russian State Library in Moscow, this artwork beautifully captures the essence of both allegory and literature. The chromolithography technique used in this print adds depth and vibrancy to every detail, making it a true masterpiece of book art. Created by Dmitri Nikolayevich Kardovsky, an accomplished artist known for his fine art images, this portrait brings Griboedov's character to life. The composition cleverly incorporates elements of mythology that further enhance its allure. Griboedov's presence exudes intelligence and wit while surrounded by symbolic motifs that reflect the themes explored within his work. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece, we are transported back to early 20th century Russia—a time when literature flourished as a means of cultural expression. It serves as a reminder of Griboyedov's significant contributions to Russian drama and his enduring legacy. This print not only celebrates one man's artistic achievements but also pays homage to an era rich with creativity and intellectualism. Its existence within the prestigious walls of the Russian State Library ensures that future generations can appreciate both its historical value and aesthetic beauty for years to come.
