EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Catherine II, the Great, Empress of Russia, alongside Joseph II, King of Germany and Emperor of Austria. Taken in 1787, this image captures the essence of power and diplomacy during the 18th century. Catherine II is a vision in her exquisite attire, donning an elegant dress and a hat that exudes regality. Her fashion sense reflects not only her status as an influential female leader but also her keen understanding of political strategy. Known for her astute foreign policy decisions and military prowess, Catherine stands tall as one of history's most formidable women. Beside her stands Joseph II, dressed in a military uniform that symbolizes his role as both king and emperor. The presence of these two powerful figures together signifies their shared commitment to strengthening diplomatic ties between Russia and Austria. The color palette chosen for this print enhances its historical significance; it transports us back to the vibrant world of 18th-century royalty. This photograph serves as a reminder that politics knows no gender boundaries - both men and women played crucial roles in shaping nations during this era. As we gaze upon this remarkable image from the Historischesmuseum in Vienna, we are reminded of Catherine's legacy as an exceptional ruler who defied societal expectations while leaving an indelible mark on Russian history.
