[NICHOLAS II
(1868-1918, Tsar of Russia from 1894, Assassinated after the Revolution)]
Interesting Group of 8 unsigned Photographs, taken on manoeuvres,
the first 4 show in turn Nicholas II, full length in uniform, shaking hands with one of a large group of officers; chatting with another officer, raised behind him is the Imperial Standard with the Russian Coat of Arms; pointing towards the valley below, slightly blurred in the very near foreground is a man on a stretcher being photographed; and the Tsar bending in order to look through a periscope. The other 4 show a gentle slope with troops massing to the left in the middle distance; troops making their way up a much steeper hill, (taken from above and quite near the leaders); the same troops a moment later, apparently having been ordered to go down again -- these two give a good idea of the grassy rolling terrain; and the last showing several soldiers, one giving his horse a drink, and two others mounted beside a small water barrel carriage, each 6¼-6½" x 9" except number 5 which is 4¾" x 8¾", no place, no date, circa
