GRAND DUKE NICHOLAS KONSTANTINOVICH: HIS AMERICAN MISTRESS

GRAND DUKE NICHOLAS KONSTANTINOVICH: HIS AMERICAN MISTRESS

On this page I would like to spotlight a wonderful book about an extended member of the Romanov family. The book had been released a few years ago but for the most part it has flown under the radar.

As most of you already know, the Romanov family were avid photographers, and luckily for us – the Romanov history enthusiasts- they took hundreds and even thousands of photographs of their public as well private daily lives. Not only did the imperial family take photographs, they also had a dark room where they developed them – so they were real pros even at the dawn of photography!
