1870 ca, PARIS, FRANCE : The russian Tsar Alexander (Aleksandr) II Nikolaevich (1818 - 1881) with wife Marie of Hesse and by Rhine (1824 - 1880), the couple was the parents of Tsar Alexander III (Alexandrovich). Photo by Sergey L'vovic LEVITSKY, Paria. Alexander II reigned as Emperor of Russia from from 3 March 1855 until his assassination in 1881. He was also the Grand Duke of Finland. Son of Tsar Nicholas I and Charlotte of Prussia, daughter of Frederick William III of Prussia and Louise of Mecklenburg-Strelitz. His early life gave little indication of his ultimate potential; until the time of his accession in 1855, few imagined that he would be known to posterity as a great reformer. - HISTORY - Alessandro II e Zarina Maria d'Assia Darmstadt
