EDITORS COMMENTS
: A Haunting Illustration of the Fall of the Russian Monarchy This evocative illustration, titled "Let in the Light," was published in Puck magazine on March 8, 1905. The image depicts the last Tsar of Russia, Nicholas II, drawing the heavy velvet drapes over a window, symbolically shutting out the sun of progress and enlightenment. The ominous sun is labeled "Progress," highlighting the irony of the situation. Nicholas II is shown wearing his crown and royal robe, adding to the sense of regal decay. Three ghouls, their faces twisted in sinister expressions, clutch at the Tsar from behind, representing the forces of darkness and chaos that were encroaching upon the Russian Empire. The year 1905 was a pivotal moment in Russian history, marked by widespread social unrest, political instability, and the failure of the Tsarist regime to address the needs and demands of its people. This illustration captures the sense of foreboding and impending doom that hung over the Russian monarchy during this tumultuous period. The use of ghouls as symbolic representations of the forces of darkness and chaos was a common motif in the political cartoons of the time. It reflected the growing sense of fear and uncertainty that gripped Russia as the old order began to crumble. This haunting illustration serves as a poignant reminder of the complex and often tragic history of the Russian Empire, and the ways in which political and social upheaval can cast long shadows over even the most powerful and seemingly invulnerable institutions.
