Exceptional unsigned Russian postcard photo
showing them half length, seated together on a sofa, 5½" x 3½", no place, (Petrograd), no date, c.
It is very rare to find a postcard of the couple at this period as they were on the verge of divorce, which did not happen as the Grand Duchess turned to the church for help and they would not sanction a divorce. From this time onwards they were to lead increasingly separate lives.
