1856 Alexander Assassinated Crowned Drives Driving Newly Petersburg Tsar Years
EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a momentous occasion in Russian history - the newly crowned Tsar Alexander II driving through the bustling streets of St Petersburg in an open carriage. Despite his boldness and temerity, little did he know that he would escape assassination attempts for 25 years.
The image exudes a sense of grandeur and power as the young tsar confidently navigates through the city, surrounded by onlookers who are undoubtedly awestruck by his presence. The ornate carriage and regal attire further emphasize his status as a ruler.
The historical significance of this photograph cannot be understated, as it provides a glimpse into the life of one of Russia's most renowned leaders. Alexander II is remembered for implementing significant reforms during his reign, including emancipating the serfs and modernizing various aspects of Russian society.
As we gaze upon this remarkable image, we are transported back to September 1856 when Alexander II ascended to the throne with hope and promise. Little did anyone know at that time what trials and tribulations lay ahead for him, but for now, he basks in the glory of being newly crowned and celebrated by his people.
