Nicholas II was the last Tsar of Russia (born 1868) who reigned from 1894 until he was deposed in 1917. In the wake of the Russian Revolution, Nicholas, Empress Alexandra, and their children were imprisoned and finally executed on July 17, 1918. Though the ultimate fate of the Romanovs became the stuff of legend, recent research has confirmed that the executions were indeed carried out, and that the remains were soaked in acid and burned. Two signatures: black ink signature,”Nicholas,” on an off-white 2.5 x 1 slip; and one purple ink signature, “Alexandra,” on an off-white 5 x 1.5 slip. Both affixed to the reverse of a larger sheet bearing ink signatures of Maria Pavlovna, Dmitri Pavlovich, Vladimir Alexandrovich, and Mikhail Alexandrovich. In fine condition, with some mild creases and trivial soiling to the larger sheet. Accompanied by an unsigned original real photo postcard of Nicholas II and Alexandra.
