EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a poignant moment in the final days of the Romanov Dynasty, as Grand Duchesses Tatiana and Anastasia Nikolaevna of Russia toil together, pushing a watering cart in the gardens of Tsarskoe-Selo, near St. Petersburg. Taken in 1917, just months before the Russian Revolution, this image offers a rare glimpse into the daily life of the imperial family during this tumultuous time. The grand duchesses, daughters of the last Emperor of Russia, Nicholas II, are dressed in simple, practical clothing, reflecting the austere realities of wartime Russia. Their expressions are serious, yet there is a sense of determination and resilience in their posture. The watering cart, a symbol of the daily labor required to maintain the gardens, serves as a reminder of the family's dwindling power and influence. The photograph was published in "L'Album de la Guerre 1914-1919, Volume 2" by L'Illustration, a French publication. It is a poignant reminder of the human side of history, and the struggles faced by the Romanov family during the Russian Revolution. The image has been preserved in black and white, adding to its timeless and evocative quality. Grand Duchess Tatiana, born in 1897, was the eldest daughter of Nicholas II and Alexandra Feodorovna. She married Prince Gustav Adolf of Sweden in 1915, but the marriage was annulled in 1916 due to her poor health. Anastasia, born in 1901, was the youngest daughter of the imperial family. She was rumored to have survived the execution of her family in 1918, but her fate remains a mystery. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of their lives and the tragic end of the Romanov Dynasty.
