Kirlafy Bro's "Michael Strogoff"

Thomas, Henry Atwell · n.d.

This colored print depicts a battlefield covered with dead and dying people. A burnt log cabin stands on the left and a Russian Orthodox church with onion domes (likely St. Basil’s Cathedral) appears in the background on the right. The drama <i> Michael Strogoff </i> was based on a novel by Jules Verne about a courier for the Russian Tsar Alexander II. It follows his daring adventures through Siberia, which was under invasion by the Tartars, as he tries to stop the rebellion.
