4° (345 x 260mm). Frontispiece portrait, a plate reproducing Tatiana's handwriting, and 87 plates of photographic reproductions, most with two images per plate.

THE ALEXANDER PALACE COPY, FROM THE CLASSROOM OF THE OLDER GRAND DUCHESSES -- that is of Tatiana Nikolaevna herself, and her older sister Ol'ga. Tatiana became a Red Cross nurse at the outbreak of the Great War, and became the patron of benevolent committees nationwide; these are documented, along with Tatiana's related correspondence, in this richly illustrated album. RARE: WorldCat lists just one copy, in the University of Illinois at Urbana Champaign; not in Copac.
