Lubok depicting Peter the Great as a barber who cuts off the beard of an Old Believer. The text on the left says, “Listen, barber, I don’t want my beard cut off. Watch out or I’ll yell for help.” The text on the right says “the barber wants to cut off the Old Believer’s beard.” The word being used here for Old Believer, raskol’nik, means “schismatic.” Note the stylized plant in the lower right-hand corner.
