This is a small film of the coronation of Tsar Nicholas II, which took place in 1894. Nicholas who would eventually be the last Tsar of Russia. In 1917, while in captivity he named his brother the new Tsar of Russia: Michael II, but he declined. He was the successor of his father who died in 1894 and was related to most of the royals of Europe. As with most of the films of the late nineteenth century the quality is sometimes poor. But nevertheless it was a momentous occasion to be filmed. More films of Nicholas II and his family still exist today. Hopefully most of these 'ancient' films will be released on DVD someday.
