Elisabeth (1864-1918) was a German princess of the House of Hesse, and the wife of Grand Duke Sergei Alexandrovich (1857-1905). When Sergei was assassinated by a terrorist bomb at the Kremlin, Elisabeth publicly forgave the murderer and became a nun; she was canonized by the Russian Orthodox Church outside of Russia in 1981. Ink signatures, "Elisabeth Feodorovna," and "Sergei, G. D. of Russia, Nov. 1898," on an off-white 4.75 x 3.5 Windsor Castle stationery card. In fine condition. Accompanied by an unsigned portrait of the pair.
From the personal collection of a lifelong collector, teacher, and traveler with a passion for world history. His collecting years ranged from the 1970s to the present day, meaning that several of the premier pieces have not been on the market in decades.
