 | | The libraries of twenty-six individual members of the Romanov dynasty, as well as volumes bearing the markings of nine imperial palaces, are represented in the collections of The New York Public Library. |
 | | However, the majority of the books, manuscripts, watercolors, and original photographs selected for this exhibit were primarily the property of five Romanovs: Alexander II, Alexander III, Nicholas II (and his immediate family), and the Grand Dukes Vladimir Aleksandrovich and Konstantin Konstantinovich, the brother and cousin, respectively, of Alexander III. |
 | | Two grand dukes Vladimir Aleksandrovich and Konstantin Konstantinovich played important roles in Russia's social, cultural, and intellectual life, and items from their libraries are well represented in the exhibit. |
