Description

Large 15.5 x 9 mounted albumen photograph of all the members of the Romanov dynasty during celebrations of the Russian ruling family's 300th anniversary, featuring Tsar Nicholas II at the center of the impressive image. In very good to fine condition, with some creasing and speckled light silvering.

The Romanov Tercentenary, celebrated in 1913, marked 300 years of Romanov rule in Russia with nationwide festivities, parades, and religious ceremonies. Tsar Nicholas II and his family toured the empire, emphasizing unity and devotion to the monarchy amidst growing political unrest. Despite its grandeur, the celebration highlighted the stark contrast between imperial opulence and the struggles of ordinary Russians, foreshadowing the dynasty's downfall just a few years later.
