Czar Nicholas II on a morning ride in 1905

Czar Nicholas on a morning ride in 1905. He had a beautiful horse to ride on!

1905 was not a good year for Czar Nicholas II, with the Russo-Japanese War ending in a disaster and a  wave of revolutionary unrest spreading through vast areas of his empire. But he still found some time for a morning ride at Tsarskoje Selo.
