ROMANOV FAMILY: BOOKS THEY LEFT BEHIND (EKATERINBURG)

As a librarian, of course this topic is of great interest to me: which books did the Romanov family bring into exile with them and what did they read during their dreary days of captivity? About 10 years ago, in 2005, I was very fortunate to have the chance to work with the Romanov family books directly – when I did an internship at the Rare Book Department of The Tsarskoe Selo Museum.

ROMANOV GRAND DUCHESSES WITH THEIR HESSIAN AUNT. CRIMEA.

Grand Duchess Olga and Grand Duchess Tatiana with (most likely) their aunt by marriage, Eleanor of Hesse, the sconed wife of their uncle Ernie, brother of Empress Alexandra. — Grand Duchess Olga and Grand Duchess Tatiana with (most likely) their aunt by marriage, Eleanor of Hesse, the second wife of their uncle Ernie, brother of Empress Alexandra.

ROMANOV FAMILY: RARE PHOTOS – BRITISH ROYAL FAMILY’S VISIT ON THE STANDART.

On June 9, 1908, King Edward VII became the first British monarch to visit Russia and his Romanov cousins. Tsar Nicholas II and Empress Alexandra were Edward VII’s nephew and niece, and he met them and the entire Romanov family on the waters of the Bay of Reval (today Tallinn). The king and his wife, Queen Alexandra, joined the Romanov family onboard the Russian imperial yacht The Standart.

“It is with feelings of the deepest satisfaction and pleasure that I welcome your Majesty and her Majesty the Queen to Russian waters. I trust that this meeting, while strengthening the many and strong ties which unite our Houses, will have the happy results of drawing our countries closer together, and of promoting and maintaining the peace of the world.”

The photographs below were also taken during the Cowes Regatta British royal visit on August 2nd of 1909. Read more ROMANOV FAMILY: RARE PHOTOS – BRITISH ROYAL FAMILY’S VISIT ON THE STANDART.
