Alexander the Great woodcut, The Glorious Battle of the King Alexander of Macedon with King Porus of India, a woodcut of the early eighteenth century, based on this old source, was probably created during the Great Northern War (1700-21) to show support for Peter the Great, since the facial features of Alexander resemble those of Peter, while King Porus takes after Charles XII of Sweden. Both kings are dressed in contemporary Western clothes and Alexander even sports a kerchief around his neck and lace cuffs around his wrists, both favorites of Peter (Ovsiannikov 10). Alexander was also depicted in a more traditional type of a print, mounted on his horse, hardly different than any other popular character, or with elephants and fancy tents in the background to distinguish him from Russian heroes.

アレクサンドロス大王の木版画、18世紀初頭のインドのポロス王とのマケドニア王アレクサンドロス大王の栄光の戦いは、この古い資料に基づいて、おそらく大北方戦争中に作成された。両王とも同時代の西洋の衣服を身に着けており、アレクサンドル1世は首にカーチフを巻いて手首にレースのカフスを巻いてもいた。アレクサンドロス3世は、他のどの人気キャラクターとほとんど違い、馬に乗った、またはロシアの英雄と区別するために、背景に象や豪華なテントを付けた、より伝統的なタイプの版画にも描かれている。
