This photo album, Изъ Моего Альбома (From My Album), an imitation of one of Alexandra's private photo albums, was published by M.O. Wolf in this World War One edition as part of a charity effort to benefit wounded soldiers. The book contains 60 reproductions of photographs mounted on thick paper sheets to make it look like a real photo album, with short annotations by the photos. Most of the photos were taken personally by Alexandra between 1912 and 1915 at Livadia, Tsarskoe Selo and on the family's imperial yacht the Standart. The book's cover is decorated with the Romanov family emblem of the double-headed eagle bearing Alexandra's cypher/monogram.
