EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the enigmatic presence of His Imperial Highness the Grand Duke Nicholas in 1916. The creator of this remarkable image remains unknown, but their talent for capturing the essence of this esteemed figure is undeniable. Grand Duke Nicholas Mikhailovich of Russia, a distinguished aide-de-camp general during World War I, was stationed in Kiev from August 1914 onwards. While he did not directly involve himself in military affairs, his role primarily revolved around visiting hospitals to offer support and solace to wounded soldiers. Dressed immaculately in a regal military uniform adorned with epaulettes and medals, the grand duke exudes an air of authority and nobility. The brocade detailing on his coat adds an extra touch of opulence to his attire. With a gaze that looks away into the distance, he appears deep in thought or perhaps contemplating the weighty responsibilities bestowed upon him. This portrait showcases not only Grand Duke Nicholas' physical appearance but also offers insight into his character as a compassionate leader dedicated to serving his countrymen. It is part of "The War Illustrated Album De Luxe - Volume IV: The Summer Campaign - 1915" edited by J. A. Hammerton and published by The Amalgamated Press Ltd. , London in 1916. As we admire this snapshot frozen in time, we are reminded of the sacrifices made by individuals like Grand Duke Nicholas Mikhailovich during one of history's most tumultuous periods – World War I – forever etching their names into our collective memory.
