EDITORS COMMENTS
This sepia-toned print captures a moment in history, showcasing the Colonel-in-Chief of Russian Uhlans and Horse Grenadiers: Grand-Duchess Tatiana and Grand-Duchess Marie. The image, taken by a 20th-century Russian photographer, exudes an air of regality and strength. In their military uniforms, these young duchesses embody the imperial power that governed Russia during World War I. With unwavering determination etched on their faces, they proudly represent their respective regiments with honor and grace. The Great War brought about significant changes in societal roles, including those traditionally held by women. These portraits highlight the crucial role played by female members of the royal family during this tumultuous time. As children of Tsar Nicholas II, they were entrusted with honorary titles within their regiments. The photograph not only immortalizes these two remarkable girls but also serves as a poignant reminder of the Romanov dynasty's tragic fate. Both Grand Duchesses met untimely ends alongside their family members in 1918. Preserved in a private collection and now part of The Stapleton Collection, this image offers us a glimpse into history through its lens. It symbolizes bravery amidst adversity while paying tribute to all those who served during World War I. As we reflect upon this snapshot from the past, let us remember the sacrifices made by countless individuals during one of humanity's darkest chapters – World War I – forever captured in this timeless piece of photography artistry
