La Revolution Russe - Grand Duke Nikolai, denied the command of his armies by the provisional government, 1917
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a poignant photograph from the tumultuous era of the Russian Revolution. The image captures Grand Duke Nikolai Nikolaevich of Russia, the younger, standing tall and resolute in a full-length military uniform, adorned with an elegant fur coat. The Grand Duke, who was the son of Tsar Nicholas II, was a decorated military officer with a distinguished career. However, as the revolutionary fervor swept through Russia, the provisional government refused to grant him command of the armies, effectively sidelining him from the political scene. The photograph is a poignant reminder of the uncertain and chaotic times during the First World War, as the old order crumbled and a new one emerged. The Grand Duke's stoic expression and impeccable attire contrast sharply with the backdrop of political upheaval and social change. The image is taken from "L'Album de la Guerre 1914-1919, Volume 2" published by L'Illustration, a renowned French publication. The photograph, a testament to the historical significance of the Russian Revolution, continues to intrigue and captivate viewers even today. The Grand Duke's attire, with its blend of traditional military uniform and fashionable fur coat, reflects the era's unique blend of tradition and modernity. The monochrome palette of the photograph adds to its timeless appeal, making it a must-have for any collection of historical images or those interested in the fashion and military history of the early 20th century.
