EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcoloured copperplate engraving, titled 'Two-horse Snow Sledge or Sleigh used in Winter by Alexander, Emperor of All the Russias,' is a captivating depiction of imperial Russian winter life. The image, created by Paul Svinine and published in Rudolph Ackermann's Repository of Arts in London in 1816, offers a glimpse into the regal lifestyle of the Russian aristocracy during the Georgian era. The focus of the engraving is on the elegant sleigh, pulled by two powerful horses, their breaths visible in the frosty air. The imperial figure, Alexander, is shown wrapped in furs and hats, gazing out at the winter landscape with an air of serene satisfaction. The ornate, one-story cottage ornee in the background, with its tall chimney and intricately designed windows, adds to the sense of grandeur and comfort. The engraving also includes detailed floorplans of the cottage's interior, revealing the layout of the parlor, kitchen, bedroom, and hall. The parlor, with its fireplace and ornate decorations, reflects the refined taste of the imperial family. The kitchen, with its large hearth and ample storage, speaks to the practical needs of daily life. The bedroom, with its canopied bed and elegant furnishings, exudes a sense of luxury and relaxation. The hall, with its grand staircase and ornate detailing, emphasizes the importance of hospitality and social gatherings. This engraving provides a fascinating glimpse into the world of the Russian aristocracy during the winter months, offering a glimpse into their daily lives, their homes, and their love of the winter season.
