Royal Russia: The Private Albums of the Russian Imperial Family

description:

Photos of the Imperial Family selected from the James Blair Lovell Archive. Mostly informal, emphasis on the family of Nicholas II. (Email for alternate cover photo.)

unique features:

Includes photos from the personal albums of Tsarina Alexandra Fyodorovna and Grand Duchess Maria Nikolaevna, arranged to mimic the layout of an imperial album.

similar to:

Romanov Family Album

in my opinion:

Most photos can be found in other books, and a number of the captions misidentify the tsar's daughters. However, a respectable and relatively inexpensive starter collection.
