EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a poignant moment in history, depicting Nicholas I, the Emperor of Russia from 1825 until his death in 1855. In this image, we see Nicholas lying on his deathbed while priests solemnly say prayers over his lifeless body. The room is filled with an air of reverence and sorrow as the world mourns the passing of a powerful ruler. Nicholas I was known for his ambitious goal to absorb Turkey into the Russian empire, a vision that clashed with the interests of Britain and France. This clash ultimately led to the infamous Crimean War (Russo-Turkish War) which lasted from 1853 to 1856. The composition of this photograph showcases various elements: Nicholas is depicted full length, sitting and standing at different points during his final moments. The presence of four people - including priests engaged in prayer - adds depth and emotion to the scene. The illustration technique employed here brings out intricate details within this historical setting; every stroke seems to convey both grandeur and vulnerability simultaneously. It's worth noting that only men are present in this intimate space, highlighting societal norms prevalent during that era. As we gaze upon this engraving-turned-photo print, we are transported back in time to witness a significant chapter in Russian history. It serves as a reminder of Nicholas I's reign, ambitions unfulfilled due to political opposition but also symbolizes an endearing farewell as he transitions into eternity.
