Twilight of the Romanovs Blom Philipp
\"Twilight of the Romanovs\" opens a door onto the world of pre-revolutionary Russia in original photographs taken during the last decades of Romanov rule. We discover a world of exceptional diversity, seemingly timeless, almost archaic, marked by persistent poverty, yet also abundantly rich and often surprisingly modern. They include many remarkable colour images created using an early three-colourplate technique; these bring the remote past to life with an especially vivid jolt.
The Russian Empire was soon to be destroyed, and, in the ensuing blood-soaked decades, rendered unrecognizable. These photographs are snapshots of a vanished world. Yet these images reveal a surprising continuity: despite the subsequent cataclysm, faces, postures, buildings and landscapes still resonate with those who see them a century and more later.
