Documentary

Shot in 1896 by a Lumière cameraman, this short actuality shows three horse-drawn carriages, escorted by liveried footmen and soldiers, arriving as part of the coronation festivities in Moscow. The passengers are identified as the Dowager Empress Maria Feodorovna and Grand Duchess Eugénie. A brief but vivid glimpse of imperial pomp during the celebrations for Tsar Nicholas II’s coronation.
