The Imperial Palace was the residence of the Habsburg Emperors until 1918. Today, it is home to the offices of the Austrian president. Parts of the palace are accessible to the public, among them the former Imperial Apartments. The rooms in this part were the private rooms of Emperor Francis Joseph I and his wife, Emperor Elisabeth. She was fondly called Sisi and it's no surprise that the rooms were she lived are called Sisi's rooms. They are as opulent as one might imagine, decorated with stuccoed work in rococo style, valuable tapestries, crystal chandeliers and filled with fine furniture. The audience hall and the conference room are also open to the public; the latter was where the Council of Ministers and the Crown Council met.
One of the main exhibits is the "400 years of the House of Romanov" Easter egg.

Its capital never knew the darkness of the night in summer, its countryside flourished with myths and folk legends.... It was a country of great men and of small, a land where beauty and...

Stars in Her Crown #1 Victoria by Mark Lauer We're starting a weekly Quilt Along today, every Saturday for ten weeks in 2019, which is the 200th anniversary year for Queen Victoria's birth. Each block recalls one of her royal children Block #1 is for daughter Victoria Adelaide Mary Louise, the Princess Royal (1840-1901), Albert's favorite, known as Vicky. Vicky and her mother, about 1845 #1 Victoria by Janet Perkins Janet used two red William Morris prints in her star points and kept the other fabrics identical. Victoria by Becky Brown Becky did the same shading with her trademark fussy cutting. Staffordshire figures of the royal couple and their eldest In today's world Vicky would have been Britain's heir apparent, but until recently only the eldest boy was destined to be future King. Oldest child Vicky, a very bright girl who thought like her father and looked like her mother, would have made an excellent Queen of England. Her Uncle Ernest wrote about his niece and his brother Albert: "She not only always remained the favourite, but, in many things, the image of her father." The Princess Royal with her nurse, etching by Queen Victoria National Gallery of Victoria, Melbourne Ernest, Albert and great-uncle Leopold were princes of Saxe-Coburg, a small German duchy that maintained a good deal of power through dynastic marriages. "The Coburgs were always of a marrying disposition," according to an editor of Victoria's letters. Leopold and Albert saw the perfect husband for Vicky in Crown Prince Friedrich of Prussia, part of their plan to unify Germany's small states into a progressive nation under Prussian leadership. Crown Prince Friedrich of Prussia with Victoria, Crown Princess of Prussia When Fritz became the Emperor of Germany in 1888, Vicky became Empress or Kaiserin. Fritz, ten years older than Vicky, first met her when she was ten. Their future together was viewed as decided and they married when she was 17. Prussia is the purple part of Northern Germany here, including Poland and other eastern European states at the time. Their 1858 marriage, a political union of Germany and England, was as much a love match as her parents' was, but it was also a sad story of dashed hopes. Crown Princess Victoria with William, eldest of her eight children in 1859. Son Wilhelm was destined to be Kaiser and they hoped to raise him to be a liberal ruler in a democratic Germany with a constitutional monarchy like England's, but Fritz's family and politician Otto von Bismarck shaped Wilhelm's conservative Prussian education and personality, creating the autocratic bully who gave us World War I. Empress Victoria of Prussia with ghostly Friedrich, a German postcard Sadnesses in Vicky's life included losing her well-loved father when she 20 and hostility from her eldest son and the Prussian court who vilified her as an English outsider. Wilhelm's difficult birth resulted in a nerve-damaged arm and she was blamed for his lifelong handicap. Her husband's long- awaited enthronement as a peace-loving advocate of an English-German alliance lasted only 99 days before Emperor Friedrich III died of cancer in 1888. Kaiser Wilhelm II The saddest chapter perhaps was one she did not live to see---her son's belligerent commencement of war against the England he hated. Two widows, the Dowager Empress of Germany and her mother Queen Victoria in 1888 The two Victorias wrote each other often during Vicky's years in Prussia, one more sin according to the Prussian court. Vicky saved her mother's letters (over 3,000) and smuggled them into England as she aged, entrusting one packet to her brother King Edward VII when he visited her just before her death in 1901. Her cautions were justified. Kaiser Wilhelm's first action after she died was to invade her quarters to confiscate her papers. The mother/daughter letters, published in six volumes, offer much insight into the royal family. The Block Victoria by Denniele Bohannon The larger pattern is for a 12" Block; the smaller for an 8" Block. To Print: Create a word file or an empty JPG file. Click on the image above. Right click on it and save it to your file. Print that file 8-1/2" x 11". Check to be sure the inch square box measures 1". You'll need 4 copies if you are going to piece it over paper foundations. Each block is pieced of 8 triangles rotated around the central point. In Block #1 they are identical except four are flipped over. And those four have a different color for Point A, purple in one set in the sketch, brown in the other. Add a 1/4” seam allowance when you cut the fabric if you are using the templates. If you are template piecing you might want to mark the triangle sides with arrows as it is so easy to get these turned around. UPDATE: Kristie and Kay asked if the blocks are in my BlockBase digital program. They are not. The blocks are original. I exported some four-patch pinwheel types from BlockBase to EQ8 and started adding and subtracting lines. Here's BlockBase#1303 with the basic structure. TEXTILE OF THE WEEK Each week I'll show you a vintage textile related to Victoria and her children; the first one is a kerchief printed for Victoria's fiftieth anniversary as Queen, her 1887 Golden Jubilee. Portraits of her children flank the Queen... including this one of the Princess Royal. https://collection.cooperhewitt.org/objects/18730005/ A fat quarter of "Queen Victoria's Family" I adapted the family portraits to make a repeat print you can buy in my Spoonflower custom printing shop. https://www.spoonflower.com/profiles/materialculture The Queen is about 3 inches wide and the royal offspring are about 1-1/2". Each repeat is about 7-1/2" x 8".

A review: https://www.nytimes.com/1995/11/19/books/poor-little-empress.html A Queen by John Tenniel from Alice in Wonderland You may also want to read the correspondence between the two Victorias but those thrice-weekly letters reveal an occasionally unpleasant woman in Queen Victoria, a woman of contradictions. The person she revealed to Vicky is not the young woman we see in the television drama. Dearest Child; Letters between Queen Victoria and the Princess Royal, 1858-1861. Dearest Mama; Letters Between Queen Victoria and the Crown Princess of Prussia. 1861-1864. Edited by Roger Fulford.

The U.S. is one of only 3 countries world wide, that still uses the Imperial system, also known as U.S. Standard. Well, Americans have adapted to the metric system in science, sports (5k anyone?) and medicine, but everything else is still stuck in ancient times. Speed, length, temperature, weight, etc. – everything is different. That […]

The largest exhibition in a generation of Faberge imperial eggs, made as unique Easter gifts from the tsar for his tsarina, is being staged in London at the Victoria & Albert Museum.
A la hora de escoger esposa para su sucesor, el futuro Pedro III, la zarina Isabel no tuvo visión de futuro. Buscó a la hija de un príncipe insignificante, Sofía, para que su familia no se inmiscuyera en los asuntos del Imperio. No imaginaba que esa joven alemana, convertida en Catalina tras bautizarse por el rito ortodoxo, iba a rusificarse y desplazar del trono a su marido, un hombre a quien su país nunca le gustó.
In many ancient cultures and religious traditions, rulers and elite members of society not only had wives, they also had concubines. Concubines normally served a dual purpose – to increase a man’s prestige through his capacity to produce children and, of course, limitless opportunities to indulge in sexual desires.
