22268In the centre is a head and shoulders portrait of the Tsar with Empereur Nicolas II around the head the whole is enclosed in a circle with the words "Souvenir" and "Alliance Franco-Russe" on either side of the large circles are smaller ones the first with the Russian imperial arms and "Cronstadt 1892" around it and the other with the French arms and the words "Toulon 1893" at the top are etched the words "Paris 1896" 3¼" high and 2¾" across In 1896 Tsar Nicholas II visited Paris to symbolize the Franco-Russian Alliance which was solidified by agreements in 189194 not in 1896 itself. The alliance was a strategic pact driven by mutual fear of Germany's growing power with France seeking security after the 1871 war and Russia seeking a counterbalance to the Triple Alliance. During his 1896 visit Nicholas II laid the first stone of the Alexander III Bridge as a monument to the enduring friendship between the two nations. It is very unusual for such a fragile souvenir to have survived intact. unknown

The original photograph was taken on 14th July 1914 in Constant Romania. Nicholas II was keen to marry his eldest daughter Olga to the very masculine Prince Carol and Ferdinand and Marie thought this would be an ideal match. This was the occasion of their first meeting. However they were not impressed with each other. When it came time to take the historic photo Olga rushed over to pick up her young cousin and thus not have to stand near Carol. Peering at us from the back row Prince Carol has a rather sullen look on his face clearly not happy to be there at all except that he was clearly interested in Grand Duchess Marie who is seated on the left of the image with masses of hair. Only a few weeks after the Romanovs returned home to Russia Archduke Ferdinand of Austria was assassinated in the streets of Sarajevo an event that soon snowballed into what we now refer to as World War 1. Had Grand Duchess Olga accepted this arrangement her life would not have come to an end so brutally in Ekaterinburg.
