Scarce photo album with several dozen rare photographs of members of the Romanov dynasty, as well as a table that describes the pedigree of the Romanov family. The photographs are collected in several sections related to the senior line of the Imperial family, coming from one of the sons of Alexander II (1818-1881): Grand Duke Vladimir Alexandrovich (1847-1909), Grand Duchess Maria Alexandrovna, Duchess of Edinburgh (1853-1921), Grand Dukes Kirill and Boris Vladimirovich (1876-1938), Grand Duke Vladimir Kirillovich and Princess Victoria Feodorovna. Photographs include ceremonial portraits, as well as candid moments from the family and personal life of the Romanovs. A significant part of the materials dates back to the beginning of the 20th century and the period of emigration.
