A fascinating photo collection,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Romanov Family Album (Hardcover)
"The Romanov Family Album" is probably one of the earlier photo collections on the last imperial family of Russia. The photographs come from the photo albums of Ania Vyrubova, Empress Aleksandra's closest friend; the albums are now among the collections in Beinecke Library at Yale University. Most of the pictures are of the family's annual summer trips to the Crimea and through the fjords of Finland, with a fair smattering of the family during World War I and a few photographs of the imperial family in captivity at Tobolsk. Numerous lengthy excerpts from Ania Vyrubova's chatty memoirs add some entertaining color. An introduction by Robert Massie gives a brief (and interesting) history of how the albums ended up with Yale. On the whole this is a very interesting book. The main flaw is that it's very difficult to find.

This review is from: The Romanov Family Album (Hardcover)
Lovely photographs. I have seen many of these before at Yale's Digital Beinecke Library, but some are new to me. It shows Nicholas II not as an autocrat or the "tyrant" historians say he was--it shows him as a kind man who adored the world he knew, that of his wife, smiling beautiful girls and his happy, albeit ill, son.
5.0 out of 5 stars

This review is from: The Romanov Family Album (Hardcover)
I just received my copy of this book this morning and I absolutely love it. The pictures are touching and haunting. I am proudly adding this to my collection of Romanov books. By the way, it was listed as in good, used condition. The book is lovely! Looks new to me. The dust jacket in perfect shape and no marks or stains anywhere in the book!
