Abstract |
The present study describes in detail a rare copy of the literary almanac “From Day to Day” in 1886, presented to persons from the closest circle of the Great Princess Elizaveta Feodorovna by its compiler, the Greek Queen Olga (1951–1926), six months before her death, in January 1926. This is evidenced by the preserved records and the queen's gift to the Strukov couple. The small circulation of the book, the unusual fate of each of the identified copies of the almanac, determined the interest in the copy of the auction sale in Monaco. The album contains recordings of famous benefactors of Russia — the Strukovs, Countess A. A. Olsufyeva (state lady of the Empress Alexandra Feodorovna), Princess M. V. Baryatinskaya (state lady of the Empress Maria Feodorovna). There are autographs of Duke Ernst of Hesse, the brother of the Grand Duchess Elizabeth, and his wife, other famous people, many of whom were parishioners of the Florentine church of St. Nicholas, who belonged to the community of Metropolitan Eulogy (Georgievsky), a well-known figure of the Russian Church Abroad. |
