Tsesarevich Konstantin Pavlovich
St. Petersburg: Petergof / Abris, 2000. Pb. Peterhof Palace Museum's series on the Romanovs draws on its collections and archives to publish written and visual documents illuminating the lives of various members of the imperial family. Emperor Paul's second son Konstatin had an unsteady character, abdicated the throne in favor of his younger brother Nikolai, and spent much his career as head of the army in Poland, then part of the Russian Empire. Drawings and paintings,works of decorative art, arms, and uniforms convey the milieu of the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries. Written documents such as Konstantin's "report card" humanize him and show the upbringing typical of the time for the imperial family. 64 p., 27 cm, approx. 50 color and b/w illus., ENGLISH.
