EDITORS COMMENTS
This sepia-toned photograph captures a significant moment in Russian history, showcasing the Colonel-in-Chief of the Russian Lancers and Hussars. The image features two influential women: the Empress of Russia, Tsarina Alexandra Feodorovna, and her daughter, Grand Duchess Olga Nikolaevna. Dressed in their striking military uniforms, both mother and daughter exude strength and authority. The Empress proudly dons her regal attire while holding her honorary title as Colonel-in-Chief of the Russian Lancers. Beside her stands young Grand Duchess Olga, who holds an equally esteemed position as Colonel-in-Chief of the Russian Hussars. The portrait not only highlights their roles within the imperial family but also symbolizes their support for Russia's military during World War I. As war raged on around them, these powerful women took on positions traditionally held by men to demonstrate their dedication to their country. Through this black-and-white photograph taken by a talented Russian photographer from the 20th century, we are transported back in time to witness a pivotal era in history. It serves as a reminder of the Romanov dynasty's influence during World War I and offers insight into how even royalty played an active role in times of conflict. Preserved within a private collection today, this image continues to captivate viewers with its timeless beauty and historical significance.
