41023annotated on the verso headed "Russian Revolution Tzar abdicates Mar 15 1917" with the description "A unique picture showing the entire Russian Royal Family and the Rumanian Royal Family a few months prior to Outbreak of war.

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.

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

Staggering under the weight of his unexpected new office following the death of his father at the age of 49 he had no intention of allowing the one person who gave him confidence to leave his side. Instead Nicholas's wedding to Alix took place on 26 November 1894 which was the birthday of the Dowager Empress Marie Feodorovna and court mourning could be slightly relaxed. Alexandra wore the traditional dress of Romanov brides and Nicholas a hussar's uniform. Olga their first daughter was born just under a year later on 15th November. unknown

32993embossed with the Imperial Eagle at the top and showing Nicholas and Alexander head and shoulders in profile him in uniform and her in evening dress in the lovely sage blue of the Imperial court 11½ inches across France At the time of their visit this was created for them to give to members of their court as a souvenir. It is unusual to find this plaque in such excellent condition. In 1893 the Russian fleet visited Toulon and in 1894 the year of Alexander III's death and Nicholas's accession Russia and France signed a treaty of alliance. The Tsar and Tsarina were the first to visit France since the entente. unknown
