EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of history - the "Map of Petersburg" by an anonymous master. The artist's identity may remain unknown, but their talent in cartography is undeniable. This private collection treasure takes us back to the era of Russian monarchy and the reign of Emperor Alexander II. The image depicts a man, possibly an aristocrat or even Tsar Alexander II himself, standing proudly against the backdrop of Saint Petersburg. The city's intricate layout unfolds before our eyes, revealing its grandeur and architectural marvels. However, beneath this surface beauty lies a turbulent period marked by rebellion and terror. During Alexander II's rule, his progressive reforms stirred both hope and discontent among different factions within society. The revolutionary movement known as Narodnaya Volya (People's Will) emerged with the aim to overthrow imperial Russia's autocratic regime. Tragically, this map also serves as a reminder of the assassination attempts that plagued Emperor Alexander II during his reign. Through this fine art lithograph, we are transported to a time when political tensions ran high in Petersburg. It invites us to reflect on the complex dynamics between rulers and revolutionaries that shaped Russian history forever.
