EDITORS COMMENTS
Queen Catherine II, also known as Catherine the Great, is captured in this stunning portrait from 1936. The creator of this print remains unknown, but their talent for capturing the essence and power of this iconic ruler is undeniable. Catherine the Great was a trailblazer in many ways. Born in 1729, she ruled as Empress of Russia from 1762 until her death in 1796, making her the country's longest-ruling female leader. Her rise to power came after a coup d'état that saw her husband assassinated. Under Catherine's reign, Russia experienced a period of revitalization and growth. The country expanded both territorially and politically, becoming recognized as one of Europe's great powers. This portrait beautifully portrays Catherine's strength and determination as she navigated through turbulent times. The image captures Queen Catherine II in full regal attire, exuding confidence and authority. Her gaze is piercing yet enigmatic, hinting at the complexities of her rule. The vibrant colors bring life to the scene while highlighting her importance on the world stage. This photograph originates from 'Bilder Deutscher Geschichte, ' a cigarette card album published by Cigaretten-Bilderdienst in Hamburg, Germany in 1936. It serves as a testament to how widely admired and respected Queen Catherine II was even centuries after her reign ended. As we admire this portrait today, we are reminded of Queen Catherine II's lasting legacy as an influential female leader who shaped Russian history.
