“Dzhunkovskaya Evd. Fed./Джунковская Евд. Фед. "

Dzhunkovskaya Evdokia Feodorovna (1856-1935) - maid of honor of Empress Maria Feodorovna and Empress Alexandra Feodorovna. Since 1908, she was under the Grand Duchess Maria Pavlovna. Sister of V. F. Dzhunkovsky (in 1908-1913 - Moscow governor). President of the Community of Saint Eugenia.

The community of St. Eugenia was formed in 1882 under the St. Petersburg Committee for the Care of the Sisters of Mercy of the Red Cross with the aim of helping the elderly and sick sisters of mercy. Princess Eugenia Maximilianovna of Oldenburg, the granddaughter of Emperor Nicholas I, assumed the highest patronage of the community. Being the chairman of the Imperial Society for the Encouragement of the Arts, Princess of Oldenburg proposed to arrange the production of postal envelopes and art postcards so that the proceeds from their sale would go to the treasury of the Community. Direct work on the organization of the publishing house was entrusted to the chairman of the Community, Evdokia Fedorovna Dzhunkovsky and the secretary, Ivan Mikhailovich Stepanov.​
