EDITORS COMMENTS
In this enchanting photograph, Tsar Nicholas II of Russia and his beloved wife, Tsaritsa Alexandra, are seen enjoying a leisurely stroll through the gardens of their summer residence, surrounded by the natural beauty of their idyllic surroundings. The Tsar, dressed in a formal military uniform, holds a box camera in his hands, while Tsaritsa Alexandra, radiant in a flowing white dress and holding a parasol, looks on with a gentle smile. The year was 1913, and the Tsar and Tsaritsa had retreated to their beloved Tsarskoye Selo estate near St. Petersburg to escape the hustle and bustle of court life. The peaceful setting provided the perfect opportunity for the couple to reconnect and enjoy each other's company, away from the political and social pressures of their roles as monarchs. The Tsar's interest in photography was well-known, and he often captured moments of his family and the Russian people on film. In this instance, he seized the opportunity to document their tranquil outing together, a testament to their deep affection for one another. The image exudes an air of tranquility and intimacy, a rare glimpse into the personal lives of the last Tsar and Tsaritsa of Russia. The natural beauty of the landscape, combined with the simple pleasure of an afternoon stroll and the Tsar's artistic pursuit, creates a timeless and evocative scene that continues to captivate viewers to this day. This photograph is a poignant reminder of a bygone era, a moment of respite and happiness in the lives of the Tsar and Tsaritsa, who would be tragically murdered along with their family just a few short years later during the Russian Revolution. The image stands as a poignant reminder of the human side of history, and the enduring power of love and connection.
