EDITORS COMMENTS
In this enchanting photograph, Tsaritsa Maria Feodorovna, the beloved Empress of Russia, is captured in a tender moment with her eldest child, the future Tsar Nicholas II, as a toddler. The image, taken in the late 1850s, showcases the deep bond between mother and son, as Maria Feodorovna playfully carries her young prince on her back while riding a horse. Maria Feodorovna, born Princess Dagmar of Denmark in 1847, was the eldest daughter of King Christian IX and Queen Louise of Denmark. She married the heir to the Russian throne, Tsarevich Alexander Alexandrovich, in 1866, and became the Empress Consort of Russia upon her husband's ascension to the throne in 1881. The photograph is a testament to the loving and nurturing relationship between Tsaritsa Maria Feodorovna and her son, who would go on to rule the Russian Empire until its tragic end in 1917. The image also highlights the informal and playful side of imperial life, offering a glimpse into the personal lives of the Romanov family. Maria Feodorovna was known for her strong will, intelligence, and deep commitment to her family and her adopted country. She played an influential role in Russian politics, particularly during her husband's reign, and continued to be a steadfast presence in the lives of her children and grandchildren even after her husband's death in 1894. This photograph is a precious reminder of the human side of imperial history, and a poignant reminder of the love and devotion that exists between a mother and her child, no matter the circumstances or station in life.
