The caption:

COLONEL-IN-CHIEF OF RUSSIAN LANCERS: THE EMPRESS OF RUSSIA.

The Imperial House of Russia is intimately associated with the Army of that great Empire, and the Empress herself has on many occasions appeared at the head of one of the several regiments with which she is associated. Three of the four daughters of the Tsar are also Colonels-in-Chief in the Russian Army, and our photographs show these ladies of the Imperial House in the uniforms of their regiments.
