The Russian Tsar And Romanov Family, 1913
This is a family portrait of the ill-fated Romanov family. It depicts Tsar Nicholas II with his wife Alexandra and their daughters Olga, Tatjana, Marija and Anastasia, with son Alexej. The family would later be brutally massacred by a firing squad following the Bolsheviks during the communist Russian revolution on July 16 to 17, 1918. Then ended three centuries of the Romanov family’s dynasty and power in Russia in one horrifying act.

The Two American soldiers in this picture share a joke to keep their spirits up during WWII. The jolly attitudes of American G.I.s during World War II are iconic. To still be able to laugh and joke around with each other, despite facing nightmarish violence and destruction, is completely commendable. This picture was taken early in America’s arrival to Europe, not long after the Pearl Harbor incident. Sadly, these men were oblivious to the true scale and carnage of the impending battles ahead.
