EDITORS COMMENTS
Les derniers jours des Romanov: Le tsarevitch," or "The Last Days of the Romanovs: The Tsarevich," is an evocative photograph capturing the poignant image of Tsarevich Alexei Nikolaievich of Russia, the heir to the Russian throne, during his exile in France prior to the Russian Revolution of 1917. The photograph, created in 1914 and published in "L'Album de la Guerre 1914-1919, Volume 2" by L'Illustration, Paris, in 1924, depicts the young tsarevich in a simple, rustic setting, surrounded by two dogs and wearing a casual, informal outfit. Alexei Nikolaievich, born in 1904, was the eldest son of Tsar Nicholas II and Tsarina Alexandra Feodorovna. He was diagnosed with hemophilia, a condition that made him particularly vulnerable and susceptible to injury. This condition, along with the political turmoil and economic instability in Russia, ultimately led to the downfall of the Romanov dynasty. In this photograph, the tsarevich appears to be in a contemplative mood, with a thoughtful expression on his face, as he looks off into the distance. The presence of the two dogs at his feet adds to the sense of tranquility and intimacy, creating a striking contrast to the political upheaval and uncertainty that would soon engulf his life. The photograph is a poignant reminder of the human side of history, offering a glimpse into the personal lives of the Romanov family during their exile in France. It also serves as a powerful reminder of the fragility of power and the unpredictable nature of history. Despite the unknown identity of the photographer, this image has endured as a significant historical document, providing valuable insight into the last days of the Romanov dynasty and the life of Tsarevich Alexei Nikolaievich.
