Intact but fragile booklet of 10 sepia-tone post cards produced just after the Revolution on brittle brownish paper, the second in a series showing the notables before & after that Revolution.

We think this includes: Babushka (Grandmother of the Revolution), the Czarina, the Prince, revolutionaries, and Kropotkin (himself a prince). Originally priced at one ruble.
