"Alexander III: The Powerful Tsar Who Ruled Russia from 1845 to 1894" In this captivating portrait, we are introduced to Alexander III, the formidable ruler of Russia during the late 19th century. Born in 1845 as Alexander Alexandrovich Romanov, he ascended to the throne following his father's assassination in 1881. The Seal of Alexander III, dating back to the mid-13th century, symbolizes his connection with Scotland and its illustrious history. This emblem serves as a reminder of his royal lineage and regal authority. Marie Sophie Frederikke Dagmar, also known as Maria Feodorovna or Dagmar de Danemark, was Alexander's beloved wife and Empress consort. Their union brought together Denmark and Russia in a powerful alliance that would shape European politics for years to come. Captured in an exquisite coronation portrait by Kramskoi, Emperor Alexander III exudes strength and dignity. His brother Vladimir Alexandrovich stands beside him, showcasing their unbreakable bond amidst turbulent times. A mesmerizing albumin photo taken by Charles Bergamasco offers us a glimpse into the emperor's private life. It reveals a man who is both resolute and contemplative—a leader burdened with immense responsibilities yet driven by love for his country. The Russian colony of Paris pledged their loyalty to Tsar Alexander III at the solemn Russian chapel—an event immortalized through Ferdinandus' engraving. This act illustrates not only the tsar's influence but also how deeply connected Russians abroad remained to their homeland. Another poignant image shows Alexander lying in state after his untimely death on November 1st, 1894. Published by C. Burckhardt in Weissenburg, this pictorial broadsheet pays tribute to a ruler whose reign left an indelible mark on Russian history. One cannot overlook Princess Mary Sophie Dagmar—Alexander's wife and a Danish princess.
