EDITORS COMMENTS
The Emperor Alexander II and his Sister Marie-Nicolaevna, in their Childhood" is a captivating black and white portrait depicting the future Tsar of Russia and his sister, Grand Duchess Maria Nikolaevna, in an intimate moment of play during their childhood years. The photograph, published in the Illustrated London News in 1856, was created by renowned British artist George Dawe and Smyth. The image captures the essence of innocence and familial bonding as the two siblings engage in a playful swinging motion, their clothing billowing in the wind. Alexander II, dressed in a simple white shirt and trousers, is shown with a mischievous grin, while Marie-Nicolaevna, in a delicate lace dress and bonnet, appears to be giggling with delight. The portrait offers a rare glimpse into the personal lives of the Russian royal family, providing a contrast to their later public personas. Alexander II, who ruled as Emperor of Russia from 1855 until his assassination in 1881, was known for his liberal reforms and efforts to modernize the country. Marie-Nicolaevna, the Duchess of Leuchtenberg, was the daughter of Grand Duke Mikhail Pavlovich of Russia and Princess Charlotte of Prussia. She married Prince Albrecht of Leuchtenberg in 1856 and later became the mother of Grand Duke George of Russia. This engraved portrait, a testament to the artistic skill of George Dawe and Smyth, offers a unique window into the past, allowing us to connect with the lives of these historical figures and appreciate the simple joys of childhood.
