What can picture riddles (rebuses) reveal about nineteenth-century Russian imperial society? Ksenia Butuzova offers a cultural history of rebuses and the people who created, published, and solved them. Rebus-making attracted a diverse range of authors and gave creative agency to people previously excluded from the empire’s established institutions of cultural production.
