Measures 9 ¼" x 12 ¼", in cardboard cover; 16 pp. excluding full-page photo portraits of Nicholas II and two Grad Dukes of the Romanov family. Printed on heavy-stock coated paper, published by the Russian People's Publishing House, New York. Illustrations include a photo of Nicholas II with Igor Sikorsky on board Sikorsky's airplane, and a photo of the room where the royal family was executed. Despite the orthography reform of the Russian language, undertaken by the Soviet government in 1917, the magazine holds on to the pre-reform orthography with letters made obsolete by the reform. The inside of the front cover has a handwritten inscription made by one of the editors to a friend, dated 1924. An insert with a lithographic print of two officers of Russian Imperial Army in old-style uniforms is included, a nostalgic appeal to return to the "golden olden days" of Russian monarchy. All the articles in this issue are either an appeal to the moral duty of all Russians to return to the absolute monarchy of the Romanov Royal House, or a condemnation of every brand and party of revolutionaries and their "presumptuous kike leaders".

In very good condition. The cover took the brunt of the wear showing creased and missing corners, frayed edges and a partial separation of the front cover from its binding. The internal pages are in excellent condition, showing barely noticeable age-toning to the paper and mild foxing to the last page with a Russian tailor's advertisement. The rice paper protecting the portrait of Nicholas II is creased but in place, firmly attached to the page.

Please note that the pen in our photo is for size reference.
