Stunning colorized photographs of the Romanov royal costume ball of 1903 breathe new life into Russian history

Post by Clutch Cargo »

The Romanov dynasty, and most notably the reign of Tsar Nicholas II, is most well-known for its opulent parties and the mystery surrounding Grand Duchess Anastasia, who many believed survived the family’s politically fuelled execution in 1918.

Tsar Nicholas II, pictured here wearing the golden brocade of 17th-century Russian Tsar Alexey Mikhailovich, is one of the most well-known figures in Russian history. He ruled Russia from November 1, 1894, until his forced abdication on March 15, 1917. He along with his five children, his wife Alexandra, and three servants were executed by firing squad on July 17, 1918.

Very good , considering all those photos were taken in black and white. Note the '' Color by Klimbin '' on the photos and do your own search on the history of color photography .
Cambodia,,,, Don't fall in love with her.
Like the spoilt child she is, she will not be happy till she destroys herself from within and breaks your heart.
