The only copy available is about 150 dollars... still too much for me, sadly. (thatīs like a whole 1/3 of my sallary).
Teddy - I browsed through their Russian section just today and didnīt see it. Maybe I overlooked it?
Is she in mourning? That would explain the clothes. Ann
Didn't she always wear mourning clothes after the death of her husband in 1905 until she donned a nun's habit?That picture is taken in 1908. The boy is Dickie of Battenberg - Victoria and Louis of Battenberg's youngest son.
Doesn't Ella look... different in that picture? I thought it could be Alix too at first - but I thought that because she looks pregnant.
That's Grand Duchess Elizaveta, 1908 year in, summer in Peterhof. There are more pictures from the event. And of course she is not pregnant, she is not Alix, just an angle of the photo and heavy clothes.
Svetabel, Is the event you refer to the wedding of Grand Duchess Maria Pavlovna and Prince Wilhelm of Sweden in May of 1908?

Anyone?
Has anyone read the book of Luise Sophie, Friedrich Leopold of Prussia, "Behind the Scenes at the Prussian Court" ?
It is on my wish list, but I'm not sure to buy it...
Did the Germans trash this palace in World War II as well?
Thank you. If he was an architect and married a second time to Asya (or to Analena, I am not sure) and lived in Buenos Aires, then this must be my Godfather. But my mother said that he died in Rome. I would expect that he is buried there. I believe he had a brother Alexander and sister Maria (name ?) and another brother. Do you know where are his three sons ? Thank you, Daria
Hello, I am coming to this conversation on Wolkonsky family rather late, so please forgive me, but I would like to ask a question about my Godfather and relative, Prince Vladimir Wolkonsky, who was an architect and died in Rome some time in the 1970's most likely. I was a child when he and his wife Asya (born in France) visited us from Buenos Aires. My mother knew him, but she has passed on, and I am left with little information but a beautiful photo of him with Asya and a distant memory of visiting him in New York City, where he lived for a while, and also a trip to Jordanville to the monastery. Does anyone know the date of his death and where his brothers and sister's families reside ? I believe his mother passed away somewhere near Spring Valley, New York. Any information is very much appreciated.
This link just popped up on my Tumblr dashboard saying it was Maria Fyodorovna in her childhood

Any idea if this is reliable website? I have never seen a photo of little Dagmar, so I have no idea whether this really is or isnīt her.
IMHO looks like Kaiserin Augusta Viktoria of Prussia or her sister Louise Sophie.
I would like to know the identity of the person sitting in front with the black pointed beard. My Great Grandfather Peter Alexandrovich Basilevsky was an aide de camp to GD Sergei when he was Governor of Moscow and this gentleman resembles him. Thanks.

Ally:
Is there any identification of GD Serge's Staff members appearing in the photograph?
