EDITORS COMMENTS
This 19th-century colored engraving depicts Tsar Alexander III of Russia (1845-1894) on Easter Day in St. Petersburg. The Tsar, dressed in imperial regalia, sits comfortably in his carriage, accompanied by an attentive coachman. A convoy of horses, led by a soldier in uniform, follows closely behind. The Tsar's personal guard, clad in distinctive uniforms, marches in formation alongside the carriage, ensuring the safety of their monarch. Alexander III, the son and successor of Tsar Alexander II, ascended to the throne in 1881 and ruled until his death in 1894. His reign was marked by a reactionary and authoritarian approach to governance, aimed at preserving the traditional institutions of the Russian Empire. Easter, a significant religious holiday in the Orthodox Christian faith, was an occasion for the Tsar to publicly display his piety and connect with his subjects. In this image, the Tsar's religious devotion is evident as he makes his way to church, surrounded by the trappings of power and the protection of his loyal guards. This evocative engraving offers a glimpse into the opulence and grandeur of imperial Russia during the late 19th century. The intricate details of the Tsar's carriage, the horses' regal posture, and the soldiers' disciplined march all contribute to a sense of awe and reverence for the Tsar and the Russian monarchy.
