Some loss to spine at the bottom part. Prince Vladimir Pavlovich Paley (9 January 1897 18 July 1918) was a Russian aristocrat and poet, who was executed by the Bolsheviks when he was 21 years old. His father was Grand Duke Paul Alexandrovich of Russia, the youngest child of Emperor Alexander II. His mother was his father's mistress, Olga Valerianovna Karnovich, who was still married to Erich Gerhard von Pistohlkors at that time. Old dried rose flower is attached to one of the pages at the poem starting with the line The smell of roses is painful and tender..

He was brutally murdered in a mineshaft near Alapaevsk, together with his cousins Prince Ioann Konstantinovich of Russia, Prince Konstantine Konstantinovich of Russia, Prince Igor Konstantinovich of Russia, and other relatives. Their bodies were recovered by the Imperial White Army and placed in coffins, then moved around during fighting with the Red Army. They were brought and buried months later at the Russian Mission Orthodox cemetery in Beijing, China, the site of which was destroyed during the Cultural Revolution and is now a parking area.
