Russian Zar Alexander III – German Kaiser Wilhelm Meeting 1912 - Russian Navy maneuver photo album (1900 -1909)

- Used
- first
An extremely rare album with highly interesting, beautiful photos from Maneuvers in the years 1900, 1903, 1909, the "Kaiser-Tsar-meeting" in 1912 and official photos of the Tsar and his family.
Cardboard covers (25.5 x 34.5 cm, a little worn) with embroidered Russian Imperial coat of arms on front cover.
18 leaves; 46 photos in total; sizes between c. 14 x 9 cm and ca. 17 x 23 cm; mostly silver gelatin prints, a few albumen prints and 16 prints, that seem to be platinum prints (the most stable photo print technique; extremely expensive luxury in the early 20th century; extremely rare).
Most photos in excellent, condition; a few with a little fading; many fresh with high contrast; as always, a little foxing; all defects, also the ones not mentioned have been considered for pricing.
8 empty spaces, where formerly phots had been mounted.
17 photos from the Kaiser and Tsar meeting are by Foto Wannas in Tallin , Estonia. They are either blind stamped or have the photographers name printed on reverse. Two of the have a stamped German description of the event on reverse. The translation is:
"The meeting of his Imperial Majesty Tsar Nikolaus Alexandrowitsch with the German Kaiser Wilhelm II. On June 21, 1912 the German Kaiser Wilhelm together with his son Prince Adalbert and the "Reichskanzler" Bethmann-Hollweg arrived on bord of the Kaiser`s yacht "Hohenzollern" in Baltischport [today Paltinsky, Estonia] to meet the Tsar.
, the Kaiser attended a parade of the "85. Wiborg Regiment", he was its commander, and he thanked, in Russian language, for the excellent march music."
In Baltischport (today named Paldiski, Estonia) was Russia`s most important Baltic Sea harbor, as it was free of ice during winter.
The Baltischport meeting ended without any political progress in the relation between Russia and Germany.
Among the family photos, there are some extremely rare ones and also some the very famous photos of the Tsar`s daughters.
Many photos are described on the mounting leave by an old hand in Russian language.
