EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in Russian history - the trial of members from the anarchist revolutionary group Narodnaya Volya, also known as Peoples Will, in April 1881. The engraving showcases a diverse group of individuals who were accused of playing a role in the assassination of Czar Alexander II of Russia. The image portrays both men and women standing together as prisoners, united by their shared membership in this radical organization. Their expressions reveal determination and resilience despite facing an uncertain fate within the confines of St. Petersburg's courtroom. During this period, czarism held immense power over Russia, making any opposition to its rule extremely dangerous. The assassination plot against Alexander II was seen as an act of defiance against his autocratic regime. As we delve into this historical moment through the lens of contemporary English engraving, it becomes evident that these anarchists were willing to risk everything for their cause. This print serves as a reminder not only of their bravery but also sheds light on the turbulent times that shaped Russian society during the late 19th century. With its rich detail and evocative composition, this Granger Collection artwork offers viewers a glimpse into an era marked by political unrest and fervent ideologies that sought to challenge established authority.
