EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the renowned Russian author Mikhail Saltykov-Shchedrin, captured in the 1880s by artist Konstantin Schapiro. Saltykov-Shchedrin, also known simply as Shchedrin, was a prominent satirist whose literary works left an indelible mark on Russian literature. In this portrait, we see Saltykov-Shchedrin seated with a commanding presence, his bearded face exuding wisdom and intellect. His piercing gaze seems to penetrate through time, reflecting the depth of his thoughts and experiences. As one of Russia's most celebrated authors of the 19th century, he held a significant role as editor of the magazine Otechestvenniye Zapiski until its banishment by the Russian government in 1884. This photograph is housed within the esteemed collection of the State Museum of AS Pushkin in Moscow—a testament to its historical significance. The monochrome aesthetic adds a timeless quality to this image, evoking nostalgia for an era long gone. Saltykov-Shchedrin's legacy lives on through his biting satire and profound observations about society. He fearlessly tackled political corruption and social inequality through his writing—an act that earned him both admiration and controversy during his lifetime. As we gaze upon this remarkable portrait, we are reminded not only of Saltykov-Shchedrin's contributions to literature but also of his unwavering commitment to using words as a powerful tool for societal change.
