Livadia 1913, Romanov Family Photo Albums, No 6

The imperial family typically vacationed in Livadia during the spring and fall. Livadia is a settlement in southern Crimea, not far from the city of Yalta. To get there, they would take the train from St. Petersburg to Sevastopol, and then board a ship, before eventually arriving at the Yalta port with great ceremony. The tsar, with his wife and children, would enjoy the healing air, go for walks, swim, sunbathe, go hunting, ride horses, and take drives in the countryside. This video is produced as part of the project for the book The Romanov Royal Martyrs, which is an impressive 512page book, featuring nearly 200 black white photographs, and a 56page photo insert of more than 80 highquality images, colorized by the acclaimed Russian artist Olga Shirnina (Klimbim) and appearing here in print for the first time.
