Grand Duke Konstantin (KR) and his family- discussion and pictures, Part I

That was really all I found.

Some info on Prince Georgiy K. I found in the latest catalogue on Princess Vera, his sister.

Prince Georgiy loved the art like his father GD KR. He even worked as a ballet impresario in New York. But in spite of his busy life he was often depressed - as the Russian revolution had an effect on him, Georgiy often repeated that he did not want to live and was sure of his own early death....

Thank you Svetabel for posting these wonderful pictures of Vera. I had seen only a few pictures of her and none of her as young woman. So I'm very grateful for your wonderful post.

Wow !Vera really was tall wasn't she?

Very tall. As all her siblings.

Here's a pose from a famous photosession in Pavlovsk (look at GD KR and little Vera     )

Great as always Svetabel.

The last photo is so funny. I can only imagine trying to get all those children seated and looking at the camera for the various photosessions. Poor Vera probably just wanted to go play!

In this photo:



I think she bears a resemblance to Marie Pavlovna Jr.

Svetabel,fabulous pictures,thank you.The famous photo session-was that for KR and Mavras' 25th wedding anniversary?

Yes I think so too. Are we right ?

You are right.

I don't know if anybody had his private papers. Certainly, Vera may have inheited them.

Vera inherited the papers of her brother Georgiy. Her collections of papers, letters, albums and other family memorabilia now are mainly in the New York Public Library. Some part of her papers she donated to the monastery in Jordanville, US.

Awesome pics!!!   more please?

I never seem a photo of Vera as a teen, a regular tomboy no doubt! bravo!

 It funny how in the Konstantinovichi family (inc the Greek family, Queen Olga's) all the men are handsome but kind of funny looking, while the ladies are graceful (most of them!) and very pretty.

I wonder, since little Natalia lived to be three months, are there any photos of her?

Unlikely.

Who haves the Motsarvo (sic) book about GD Konstantin K. and give some direct link to website to buy it?

What is your opinion about this book?
