| | Smaragde der Grossfürstin Maria Pawlowna - Grand Duchess Vladimir |
 | | The Grand Duchess Vladimir in a native Boyar costume, wearing her emeralds displayed on her breast, head-jewel, as necklace, earrings, bracelets and brooches. |
 | | A serious quarrel has broken out between the Czar and his aunt, the Grand Duchess of Vladimir, which has had the result of causing her husband, the Grand Duke, to tender the resignation of his office as Commander of the Metropolitan Military District of St. Petersburg and of the Imperial Guard. |
 | | As the Grand Duchess is the most dashing member of the imperial family and the acknowledged leader of St. Petersburg society, from which the Czar and Czarina hold wholly aloof, the great world of the Russian Capital has ignored the ukase of the Emperor and taken the cue from his aunt. |
