Romanov Grand Duchesses Signed Photograph

Incredibly rare original vintage matte-finish 6.75 x 6.5 portrait of the four daughters of Czar Nicholas II, taken in 1913 for the Romanov Tercentenary and signed by all four in Cyrillic: "Olga," "Tatiana," "Maria," and "Anastasia." Dated 1916 at the bottom, presumably at the time of signing. Beautifully mounted, matted, and framed to an overall size of 16 x 17.75. In fine condition.

Olga, Tatiana, Maria, and Anastasia Romanova, the daughters of Emperor Nicholas II of Russia and his consort, Alexandra Feodorovna, were the most famous princesses of their day. Signed photographs are extremely rare, as they were all executed by Bolshevik revolutionaries at Yekaterinburg on 17 July 1918, aged 22, 21, 19, and 17, respectively. A magnificent signed photograph and a true rarity of Russian royalty.
