EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment in time from the last days of the Russian Empire, featuring Alexei Nikolaevich, the beloved son and heir apparent to Tsar Nicholas II. The young Tsarevich is depicted here in all his regal splendor, with an air of innocence and curiosity that belies the tumultuous events that would soon engulf his family and country. Taken around 1912, this portrait showcases Alexei as a boy on the cusp of adulthood, destined to inherit one of the most powerful thrones in Europe. His cherubic face and bright eyes hint at a future filled with promise and potential, yet also foreshadowing the tragic fate that awaited him just a few short years later. As history would have it, Alexei's life was cut tragically short during the Russian Revolution of 1917-1918, when he was brutally murdered along with his parents and siblings by Bolshevik revolutionaries. This poignant image serves as a poignant reminder of a bygone era when royalty still held sway over vast empires, before their world came crashing down in flames. Grenville Collins has expertly captured this fleeting moment in time, allowing us to glimpse into the past and witness firsthand the beauty and tragedy of Russia's imperial legacy through the eyes of its last Tsarevich.
