EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Russian Merchant" captures the essence of a bygone era. Etched by the talented artist John Augustus Atkinson and published in 1804, this colour lithograph transports us back to a time when trade and commerce thrived. In the image, we see a distinguished Russian merchant standing proudly on the dock, surrounded by barrels and ships in the bustling harbor. His traditional tunic, known as a caftan or kaftan, speaks volumes about his national identity and cultural heritage. A long flowing beard adorns his face, adding an air of wisdom and experience to his countenance. As we gaze upon this full-length portrait, it becomes evident that this merchant is not just any ordinary trader - he exudes an aura of authority and success. Perhaps he was even recognized for his achievements as a royal academician. The attention to detail in this artwork is remarkable; every fold of fabric meticulously etched, every color carefully chosen to bring life to the scene. It is through prints like these that we can appreciate both the artistic skill involved in their creation and gain insight into historical periods long gone. Now part of The Stapleton Collection housed within a private collection, this print serves as a reminder of our rich trading history and offers us glimpses into distant lands where merchants played pivotal roles in shaping economies.
