Beautiful

Absolutely gorgeous family photographs topped with Nicholas II's personal jewel album. Nicholas's drawings and inscriptions of his jewels are the best. This book includes a variety of photographs and even a translation of Nicholas's writings. There is some confusion on three photographs of the Grand Duchesses but that is very minor due to this otherwise magnificent book.

interesting book for Romanovphiles

A beautifully produced slipcovered volume of Nicholas's own watercolored renderings of his personal jewelry, of which he apparantly had a lot of (I guess that's a necessity of being tsar-emperor). The real treat, however, are the family photographs, many of which are previously unpublished. If your a serious Nicholas and Alexandra collector, this is a must have.
