Royal Russia : The Private Albums Of The Russian Imperial Family

Rating:
Summary: Excellent
Review: In "Royal Russia", Lovell draws the reader into the amazing world of the last Imperial Family with their wonderful photographs. The photographs are excellent, however there are some misidentifictations of the Grand Duchesses. Nonetheless, the book is great.

Rating:
Summary: It was good.
Review: It was a good book, but I hate it how they kept getting the Grand Duchesses mixed up, and they called Marie Olga and Olga Marie, it was very annoying.

Rating:
Summary: Good book, but not great
Review: The photographs are beautiful. There are fewer of them than in most other Romanov photo collections, but then, I haven't seen most of them elsewhere, either. One quibble is that several of the photographs seem to be mistakenly identified-- which daughter is which, and so forth. Slightly annoying. The book could also have done with more accompanying text and descriptions. Most pages contain just one or two photographs with brief captions.

Rating:
Summary: The Daughters are ver Beautiful Ladies.
Review: The pictures of the four beautiful daughters are verybreath taking.I love all the pretty dresesthat the four daughters usedto wear back during their day.Again breath taking.

Rating:
Summary: I loved it!
Review: This book has some of the rarest photographs taken from the family's private albums. Most of the photographs come from Maria and Alexandra's Album.

Summary: Good book, but not great
Review: Though a few caption dates are off, this book is worth having for the photographs alone! The pictures aren't readily found in most other available sources, and are very nicely-presented in their entirety (no artful layering and cropping to obscure the subject matter!). I'm especially stoked that the collection draws largely from one of HIH Maria Nicolaievna's albums...poor Mashka often gets short-shrifted in the mix, and so it's nice to find a cache of photos that represent her point-of-view/feature her.
