EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful print captures a haunting scene from history - the aftermath of Czar Alexander II's assassination in St. Petersburg, Russia, in 1881. The image showcases the somber reality of that fateful day as men work diligently to remove the dead bodies from the streets. Created by an anonymous contemporary American wood engraver, this artwork conveys both the brutality and resilience of the Russian people during this tumultuous time. In this chilling depiction, a soldier stands guard over the lifeless corpse while others carefully carry away another body on a winter day. The frozen ground and stark surroundings emphasize the harshness of their task and serve as a reminder of how violence can disrupt even the most serene settings. The assassination of Czar Alexander II marked a pivotal moment in Russian history, signaling not only an end to his progressive reforms but also igniting further unrest within Tsarist Russia. This photograph serves as a poignant tribute to those who lost their lives during this tragic event and offers viewers an opportunity to reflect upon its lasting impact on society. As part of The Granger Collection's vast archive, this print provides us with invaluable insight into historical events that have shaped our world today. It serves as a testament to humanity's ability to endure amidst adversity and reminds us never to forget those who have sacrificed for change.
