Imperial Russia 1911 Military School Cadets album

[Theodor]

Господа офицеры, полковые дамы и вся остолная непьющая сволоч, or simply Guys, I think I have not shown you my Russian Cadet alum, so here it is.

This is the album of the 62nd Class, 1910/11 of the Orlovskii Bahtina Military School. Are these albums popular? Do you have other numbers or other schools to show? This will be interesting. Anyway, back to the album: it is a huge and luxury piece. Nice decorated cover:

Then follow some royalties, commanders, officers from the school, civil teachers, etc. And finally pages with photos of the cadets. The album photos are made in an interesting way: photos of the persons are put on background or real treasures - firearms, blades, awards, badges, parts of uniforms, etc. etc., as well as simple textbooks and objects needed for the study. All looks so interesting! But let the photos do the talking - sorry for the back quality, this can not fit on the scanner!

And finally a photo of the whole class with their officers/teachers. Doesn't it make you wonder - it was taken in 1911, only a few years later came a fierce storm, what ever happened to those men! Who knows what stories followed....

Absolutely superb artistic photography! Never seen the like--from anywhere. :cheers:

Completely fantastic!

Some of the captioned photos could be of considerable historic interest once the individuals had been identified.
