EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the grandeur of The Tsar Alexander II Monument in Samara, Russia during the 1890s. Standing tall and proud, this magnificent sculpture pays homage to Tsar Alexander II, known as "The Liberator" for his historic emancipation of the serfs in 1861. Alexander II's reign was marked by progressive reforms that aimed to modernize Russia. However, his noble intentions were tragically cut short when he fell victim to an assassination plot orchestrated by a revolutionary group called Narodnaya Volya (People's Will). This monument stands as a testament to his legacy and the impact he had on Russian society. The city of Samara, then known as Kuybyshev during the Soviet era, provides a fitting backdrop for this monumental tribute. As we gaze upon this image, we are reminded of the resilience and enduring spirit of the Russian people throughout history. Intriguingly captured from below with a metaphorical perspective, it symbolizes how individuals look up to their leaders and rulers. The presence of children in front of the statue adds depth to its meaning - representing future generations who will carry forward Alexander II's vision for progress and prosperity. Preserved within the collection of the Institute for History of Material Culture in St Petersburg, this photograph serves as both an artistic masterpiece and historical artifact. It allows us to reflect upon a pivotal period in Russian history while appreciating the skillful craftsmanship that went into creating such an awe-inspiring monument.
