Bibelot is a late nineteenth century word derived from the French word bel ‘beautiful’, meaning a small item of beauty, curiosity or interest. The word ephemera is derived from the sixteenth century Greek word ephmera meaning a printed or hand written paper not meant to be retained for a long period of time. Fine original antique calling card of Count Modeste de Korff 'Ancien
Maître de la Cour' of Tsar Nicholas II, accompanied by a photograph of
the Count in exile with an elderly Sir George William Buchanan (1854–1924), the British Ambassador at the time of the Russian Revolution in
1917. He had developed a strong bond with Tsar Nicholas II, and
attempted to convince the Tsar that granting some constitutional reform
would stave-off revolution. Sir George, disappointed that the
fledgling democracy offered by the Provisional Government was strangled
by the Bolshevik coup in October, finished his distinguished career as
Ambassador to the Kingdom of Italy from 1919–21. Sir George's
autobiography, 'My Mission to Russia and Other Diplomatic Memories', was
published in 1923. It is believed that he had to leave out some of what
he knew under threat of losing his pension. He died in 1924. Calling Card Size: 10 x 6.5 cm approx Photos
