1860s CDV photo of Nicholas Alexandrovich
Romanov (1843-1865) was the heir apparent
of Imperial Russia from 1855 until his death
in 1865. He was the eldest son of Tsarevich
Alexander Nikolaievich, himself the eldest son
of Emperor Nicholas I of Russia, and Princess
Marie of Hesse and by Rhine. In 1855, his
paternal grandfather died, and his father
succeeded to the throne as Emperor Alexander II.
In 1864, Nicholas Alexandrovich became engaged
to Princess Dagmar of Denmark but died of spinal
meningitis a few months later. His early death at
the age of twenty-one was a devastating blow to
his mother. No photographer backmark. ID'd in
pencil on reverse as "Grand Duke Heritier".
This was one of his titles.
