Photograph of Alexander III, Emperor of Russia. He is standing facing the camera holding a cigarette in his right hand. He is wearing an outdoor tweed suit with a dagger tucked into his belt. There is a building to the left and a figure standing on the grass behind him to the right. Alexander III was Emperor of Russia from 1881 until 1894. It is likely that this photograph was taken during a summer holiday in Denmark, where annual family gatherings were hosted by his father-in-law King Christian IX.
