EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "A Rare Glimpse into Imperial Russia: A Postcard of Empress Alexandra Feodorovna from Odessa, 1900" 2. Description: This exquisite postcard, dating back to 1900, features a portrait of Alexandra Feodorovna (1872-1918), the Empress of Russia, in an ornate oval frame. The portrait, inset within the postcard, captures the empress's regal presence, with her crown resting atop her head and her elegant attire adorned with intricate details. The background is a vibrant orange, adding a warm and rich contrast to the image. 3. Provenance: The postcard was sent from Odessa, Ukraine, on the 9th of May, 1900, making it a rare and valuable piece of Russian history. The image of Alexandra Feodorovna, who was the wife of Tsar Nicholas II, was widely circulated during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. However, this particular postcard, with its intricate design and beautiful condition, is a rarity among collectors. 4. Historical Context: Alexandra Feodorovna was born in Germany and became the Empress of Russia upon her marriage to Tsar Nicholas II in 1894. Her reign was marked by controversy, as her German heritage and her close relationship with her German mother, Empress Frederick, fueled anti-German sentiment during World War I. This postcard, sent from Odessa just a few years before the turmoil of the Russian Revolution, offers a glimpse into a time when the Romanov dynasty still held sway over the Russian people. 5. Conclusion: This rare postcard is not only a beautiful work of art but also a valuable historical artifact, offering a unique glimpse into the imperial past of Russia. The intricate design, the regal portrait of Empress Alexandra Feodorovna, and the connection to Odessa, Ukraine, make it a must-have for any collector of Russian history or postcards. This postcard is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of Russia and the enduring allure of its imperial past.
