A collection of 22 annotated albums of snapshots taken between 1908 and the Russian Revolution, in 1917, by Herbert Galloway Stewart. The albums feature members of the Russian Royal Family, taken mainly in St Petersburg and the Crimea and in various locations around Europe.

The albums form a part of the Ricketts Collection, a collection of prints, albums, ephemera and objects assembled by Howard and Jane Ricketts.
