You Won’t Find these Rare Photos In Your Typical History Books!
Late 18th-Century Duck-Face
The usually composed Empress Alexandra Feodorovna was caught striking an early version of the “duck-face” pose at Wolfsgarten in the Fall of 1899! Far from the regal portraiture you’d expect from a Russian Empress. This snapshot is a rare glimpse into her lighter side. Imagine, she was duck-facing decades before social media made it a thing!
Although not seen in the photo, with her during this shot was Tsar Nicholas II, who might’ve been equally amused and bewildered by his wife’s playful gesture. If selfies had existed, this would be the royal photo breaking the internet. Even empresses like to let their hair down.
