{"product_id":"the-coronation-of-tsar-nicholas-ii","title":"The Coronation of Tsar Nicholas II","description":"385 pp. New colour cover. New large 9 x 6 inch trade size format, More than 100 additional new photos, Biographical notes and photos of the six authors, New foreword by the publisher. The pomp and pageantry surrounding the Coronation of Tsar Nicholas II is told through the eye-witness accounts of six people who attended this historic event at Moscow, held over a three week period from May 6 to 26, 1896. The authors came from all walks of life and different nations: Francis W. Grenfell and Mandell Creighton, Bishop of Peterborough (Great Britain); John A. Logan, Jr., Kate Koon Bovey and Richard Harding Davis (United States); and Boris Alexandrovich Engelgardt (Russia). Historians have left us only brief descriptions of this historic event, but it is thanks to the authors of this unique book that we are grateful. They recorded their observations in diaries and letters, leaving to posterity a first-hand record that allows modern-day readers to relive the crowning of Russia's last tsar and the splendour and opulence of a world that is gone forever. These exceptional memoirs offer a wealth of information that include the preparations and events leading up to and during the coronation festivities, the tsar's entry into Moscow, the procession to the cathedral, the crowning of the tsar and the celebrations that followed. No two memoirs are alike; each of the authors guides the reader through this historic event through his or her own eyes. A collection of over 200 rare photographs and illustrations from the private archives of Royal Russia complement this book offering the largest collection of this historic event ever assembled in one volume.","brand":"Gilbert's Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":20631313055814,"sku":"2285410","price":35.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1232\/9510\/products\/2285410.jpg?v=1571426586","url":"https:\/\/ym-demo.myshopify.com\/products\/the-coronation-of-tsar-nicholas-ii","provider":"Yesterday's Muse","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
