I apologize if my previous post came off overly critical. Honestly it doesn't bother me much at all but I can see why others get picky. It's just that with literally thousands of photos to choose from it seems odd, almost like going out of ones way, to choose an imagine that could be mistaken. Blurry photo? Dump it. Obstructed view? Don't bother. Even a shadow of a doubt of what GD that might be? Next!
Of course it's only the hardcore Romanov crowd that's likely to take notice of an incorrect caption. For an average reader just getting started on the subject or someone who has general interest in the time period they probably won't notice. I'd think that these latter two groups are who the photo inserts are really for in the first place. For those of in the AP crowd, really, who needs them? Now don't get me wrong, I enjoy flipping through photos in the middle of a Romanov book as much as the next person. But with the thousands photos on the AP/web there's little chance that something is going to make its way into a book that I haven't seen before, and with better clarity, on the internet.
