Summary: A beautiful photographic overview of a beautiful time
Comment: Despite the Amazon header, "The Last Courts of Europe" was in fact edited by Jeffrey Finestone, with an introduction by Robert Massie. The book is divided into several sections: Great Britain; Russia; Austria-Hungary; Prussia; The Lesser German States; Belgium, Luxembourg and The Netherlands; France; Scandinavia; Iberia; Italy; The Balkans; and The Eleventh Hour. There are over three hundred photographs, all beautifully reproduced in sepia tone.

The selection is excellent. Best of all, there are many photographs included of lesser-known royals and less-documented royal families. Though it is easy to find photographs and information on modern royals, deposed or ruling, of almost any nation, for the Victorian-Edwardian period it is a lot harder. A good job was also done of finding photographs that demonstrate the intertwined relationships of Victorian royalty. (My personal favorite is a picture of King Nicholas I of Montenegro with his children [and their spouses] and grandchildren: it includes two Russian Grand Duchesses, two Grand Dukes, the King and Queen of Italy, a Prince and Princess of Battenberg, the Crown Prince of Serbia and a Serbian Princess, and numerous Princes and Princesses of Montenegro.)

A beautiful, beautiful book, and a must-have for anyone interested in this period of European royalty.
