Luncheon in a Summer House in 1912 in the Russian Empire {Perfume Images & Ads}

This photo is excerpted from the book Twilight of the Romanovs. The olfactory pretext is a little thin although please note the potted flower arrangements in the center of the table. We love this very atmospheric picture. Perfume has a lot to do with nostalgia, and so does photography...
