Baron Alexander Vasilyevich Kaulbars (Russian: Александр Васильевич Каульбарс ) (May 14, 1844 - January 25, 1925) was a general in the Imperial Russian Navy. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alexander_Kaulbars

All of the decorations and gold braid make me smile. I wonder if they were meant to intimidate the enemy?
Ulterior Motive Vax - Just Say NO! said:
decorations don't scare the enemy. Those decorations are to intimidate his own staff into submission to his command, ie- subordinate anyone on his own side, make sure they're following his plan and not going off on their own plans. Actually, so much decoration indicates desperation, a mask compensating for weekness, as it didn't work, as even his own staff went against him, having their Communist Revolution in 1917.
skillful north said:
well perhaps the staff was the enemy! LOL
Kristi (LOC P&P) said:
trialsanderrors: Thanks for the further information on Gen. Kaulbars. (I think you made a switch of two words in your comment, as he was a general in the Imperial Russian Army, rather than the Navy. ) We will expand the description when we update this record to reflect these new details.

Thanks for help with spellings and also spotting the photographer's name.
Dendroica cerulea said:
Probably this battleship.
Black and white archive said:
We can still argue over the spelling. According to the OED it's either Tsarevich (no T in the middle) or Tsarewitch (W with a T).
Jim Rees said:
Except that the Russian spelling is apparently Цесаревич, which transliterates more closely as Tsesarevich.
FrigateRN said:
Never mind the spelling, it's a great old photograph, thank you for sharing.
