She explained that she had the album from her 80+ mother who was living in Paris and she may never get it again. On looking I found photos of the Tsar and his family with hand written notes on them. 'Oh yes' she said ' this one says Happy Christmas from Nicholas' and this one says etc. etc. Turns out that her great-grandmother was a member of the Russian royal family and this album was the family album that was brought out of Russia when they were allowed to flee!
