I believe it's the same day as the photo of Olga and Tatiana in a door way and one of Tatiana where you can see the shadow of the TsarCould you post this photo?
taking her picture...thanks for the size of that photo abbigail! Love it! Seems to me, girls dressed in white + columns = Livadia.
Olga and Maria looked so similair in this pic...more like sisters than to the others ;)Lord yes, very similar. Sometimes in pictures of them when young, you have to identify them based on Olga's wider forehead or Marie's wider jaw! The photo of Tatiana with Nicky's shadow was published in the Robert Massie bio of N & A 40 years ago ..the caption makes a note of it. I have seen the photo since, but the Tsar's shadow is often cropped out and you just see Tatiana. It's funny, because you can see his index finger is pointed up ...meaning " now, stay still" T looks fairly annoyed...perhaps that's why she'll sometimes frowns while taking photos...you had to keep very still! lol!
My guess is 1912 or 1913ish.
You can also see more details of their faces, which is really interesting.I couldn't agree more. I love to see big files. Makes the photos easier to draw too. I might have to do this one...thanks again for posting. About the dress, I wonder if they wore lace over garments...even at this stage. I know they did as children...that is, wear a colored shift and a lace dress over it...so the color would show
author=Romanov History Buff link=topic=14775.msg430968#msg430968 date=1269487190]Yes it's over the big brownie box camera he was using! Since they took sooooo many photos, them having to stand still for the pictures goes a long way to explaining why they some times look annoyed! lol!
Where (his index finger i mean)? Wow, things you never notice in photos until someone points them out :)
Hey, girls! I found this in a website:

I think that this is the big pair! (Tatiana and Olga)
Photo-postcard of Hussar Olga (I believe in 1911):
http://i800.photobucket.com/albums/yy285/otmaprivatealbums/OLGA1911.jpg
Olga's diary mentions by name the horses that she and Tatiana rode during their regimental exercises on 5 August 1913:
At 10:30 the two of us in uniforms went to the training grounds. We rode on horses: I rode on Regent, T[atiana] on Robino.
Olga's diary mentions by name the horses that she and Tatiana rode during their regimental exercises on 5 August 1913:Indeed, but this horse is not Regent. Both of Regent's back feet had white ankles. So perhaps this is just a photo shoot?

You're right! That's a terrific piece of film. I've never seen that before. I thought i'd seen all the film of them that existed!! Many thanks for the linkAnd I see more of them each time I view it! I hadn't realized before the girls are there almost from the start before I checked that the link as still working last night . They were fine horse women!

Charity stamp of Olga from World War I.
Annie, thank you for directing us to that video. I'd never seen it before!You are welcome! lol! One can see it many times and still feel they haven't seen it before! I see more in it whenever I look!
This photo is beautiful, bOTMA!!!not sure Tasia...could be a lady in waiting too!
Was this woman behind Olga her friend?
I appeal to the moderators to correct the name of this topic. It says ' Olga OPhotographs IV ' . There's an extra 'o' before 'photographs'.
I'm guessing this was photoshopped. The body looks more like a painting, and Olga's head was probably cropped from one of the 1914 formals.
When I saw it, I unerstood almost over the spot that it was a photoshoped image..Her hairdo was also photoshoped, I think.
RealAnastasia.
I wonder what is the sign saying?I have thought it was a grave marker for a pet...but of course, can't tell. But their faces are sad.
QuoteI wonder what is the sign saying?I have thought it was a grave marker for a pet...but of course, can't tell. But their faces are sad.
You know, we're probably way off, they might have just been innocently walking through the children's island (that was where it was taken) and were stopped and had to go through the whole 'stand still for the photograph' gubbins.

'the cape of good Sasha
Isn't "Sasha" Russian for Alexandra or Alexander or both?
It was part of an informal series taken at Peterhof around 1913. All four girls are pictured in that window individually, as well as in pairs: O/M and T/A.Thanks for the info!
They are both pretty well known...and it's a pity we can't found a better version of the first one picture, since Olga looks really as a woman in it.Yes, all we have right now this that sceen shot from a video. This photo was used on a tiny stamp sold for charity during the war...and that quality isn't any better!
RealAnastasia.
Does anybody know if the photo I posted of Olga with flowers was taken on the board of Standart? Or the Polar Star?
Erm....i dont know if this is an old composite or some new (looks like GD Ally`s work...)
Yes, the smile is very Olga. And do anybody knows who is this young man?Lady N. most likely a sailor, whoes name is lost to history
Me neither. I thought Ivan Sednev would look older.

This is very odd-- you know how I said my comment on the lovely 1914 formal disappeared? Well, my comment on the 1907 standart photo also disappeared! What could have happened??

I think the moderators are cleaning up the forum--a lot of "That's beautiful"-type posts are disappearing. ;)
Oh, fudge. Here's the right link (http://forum.alexanderpalace.org/index.php?topic=13249.msg464364#new).I read post # 26 and think it a wise policy....and quite fair as the remarks are left on for some time before removal ...certainly long enough for them to be read by the intended recipients...in this way both thread tidiness and forum members communication is served ....but I'm glad some of the " thank yous" will remain.
(Fixed the link in the original post, too.)
Sarushka, you're right that the pic wasn't taken in 1899. What about the 1900 photosession? I don't know, she seems too young for the 1901 session. She doesn't look like a 5-6 year old in that pic.
They do!An early rendition of her looking quite determined while being photographed! lol! In the photo of the three girls, you can see how large Olga's hands were...later on she seems to hide them a good deal from the lens ,...curl them up etc....her thumbs were very long...that had to help in her piano playing. While they were large and long , they were well shaped, as were all of OTMAA hands. I guess I notice hands , but their hands were beautiful.
Tatiana looks miffed at the photographer in the first one. :D
There's only two, right?There's two more besides that I know of
That one and the great one where Olga is smiling so wonderfully and candidly. Love that one.Perhaps my all time fav photo of my favorite GD
And what about Mashka? Where's she? ???I have never seen her in this series...perhaps she stayed back with Alix on the train that day ? Otherwise you know she would be all over the kids! The photos were in Tatiana's album according to Prince George of Greece's book and TN ( the list maker) made note of the children's names
And what about Mashka? Where's she? ???
The caption of this photo states this was April of 1913 . The Tsar, Olga,Tatiana, Marie and Alexis...
You’re welcome GrandDuchessAndrea, I’m glad you enjoy it.
Here is Olga with his father and one of her sister, can’t tell whether it’s Tatiana or Maria:

Nice but fuzzy. I love the Nicholas and Olga frames; do you, (or anybody,) have the baby portrait seperate?

Thanks a lot Annie, I only have a close up picture of the last picture you posted.Voyager, could you send me this one with Tatiana as a nurse (your last posted picture)? Many thanks!
Talking about the Dowager Empress and her granddaughters, here is another picture but this time with Olga and Maria:

I can't wait for official pics of Tatiana from 1897 to surface. I only know one image of her, in the faberge egg. And the one of her as a baby with Olga and the Empress.
Looks like...1914?
Looks like...1914?Actually the note on my files says it was taken in 1913.
new to me as well! And everyone is there...the family is in white...means spring and or summer I believe ...Nicola could tell us who the group is
Thanks! =)
lol, looking at both of those pictures at once is like playing one of those spot-the-differences games!lol!True. Well one difference I see is in the 2nd one Olga is looking down at whatever she is holding in the first one. What did she speak to her German relations? English as well? It's remarkable the difference in her hair style the next year...much more closer to her head.
I just love these kind of croppings, since we can appreciate people's expressions better than in a general picture in which their faces appears too little. I think that sometimes , when well done, croppings looks almost as new pics. I wish I could see more NAOTMAA cropping pictures.
RealAnastasia.
I just noticed how much Olga looked like Nicholas.Lord yes...so much so, that sometimes in Nicholas's young photos, it seems Olga has put on a beard! lol! Their profiles are almost exact
The cropping from individual formal shots are not so impressive.

I have been looking at this photo and it took awhile to see there is another chair in front of Olga and her chair and that adds to visual confusion....then I see a place setting there...so perhaps whoever took this photo, had been sitting there. It's an amazing photo. See how sun tanned the girls and Gillard are compared to there others.( General T., Countess H...Trina ) Every one one of the images from this time are so precious.
I think that maybe Anastasia was the photographer, since she is not in the pic. Alexis was still sick a bed at the time, so he was not present in the room and it's almost sure he didn't took the photo, either.That makes sense...everyone is looking into the camera .... but Trina...she's having none of it...lol!
Lol, yeah Annie, I like her face expression in both pictures.Talking about tan, I also notice in some of the girls pictures prior to captivity their skin was rather tanned like for example OTMA formal picture in 1916, their skin look darker than the usual probably they used to sunbath or being exposed to sun light too much.Apparently the girls tanned themselves on the train trip to the Crimea in 1916...laying out in the sun "like lizards" and at some point Alix wrote to Nicholas about this sun bathing habit asking "where, did they pick up that ? " Perhaps from nursing friends? A major source of new ideas lol! ...but they always enjoyed the sun since babyhood.

Yes clock, that when they did it on purpose , on the way to Romania while on the Startart, to ruin their looks ..., exactly VOF....and it's pretty funny really. OTMA on strike. Tatiana particularly looked tanned in the group photos . What I wonder is when/ how did sun tanning done in 1914 to ruin their looks, become in 1916 something to enhance them...or at least something to enjoy? It was about this time being tanned wasn't seen as being low class anymore ...but became a sigh of" health" etc. Still , of course someone of Alix's generation would wonder about it...it would seem an odd idea to her.QuoteApparently the girls tanned themselves on the train trip to the Crimea in 1916...laying out in the sun "like lizards" and at some point Alix wrote to Nicholas about this sun bathing habit asking "where, did they pick up that ?

It could be Louise Mountbatten in the picture. I noticed in State archive, they sometimes mislabel photos like the one of the BP with a picnic basket, they have identified them as Maria and Anastasia, and in many cases they were unable to identify people in some photos, like this photo http://statearchive.ru/assets/galleries/435/ron-050.jpg they were unable to tell which GD it is, imo it’s Olga.lol! I say: Marie...because of her jaw and lips... however the fine housemanship could indicate Olga....But the big Pair with the basket! It's a surprise they could not see that. Can you imagine Anastasia carrying one side at this time? She couldn't llit it for long imo!
The Big Pair with thier father , 1911

Neat picture! Obviously the same day, possibly on the return from parade grounds. Where did you see it?

If I remember correctly, they stated that not even peasants would wear such clothing.Indeed ,it reminds me of the response French Impressionism had at first ...while of course we today think it's great! And so here, the girls look more modern to us today than they would if they were dressed more in keeping with general accepted ideas for royals and even young ladies in their time.
Yes it was taken in Denmark, and yes it’s OTM and about the little girl im not sure but it could be their cousin Ella.
but then we see Marie, not turn her back, but actually back up to be next to Olga and it seems to me she is pointing out a favorite....being on the look out for favorite officers was an activity they shared. It's interesting to see Maria's experience as a royal in this...that is, not turning her back on the courtyard to move behind where she was standing....but to back up so she is always facing forward
Yes, I " think " it's Paul...but not 100% sure.
Not new but better size:

I don't know the exact date of that picture, but i tend to think it was 1912.
could you please scan the whole picture? I've never seen it so large-it would be perfect for color...I will scan it tonight and send it to you though pm as photobucket does not seem to allow really big files....why I started cropping ! lol!
Wow, Annie. Your scanner is wonderful! Thanks for the HUGE scan!Bigger is better EmmyLee! lol! I'm only limited by the dots used to print the photos. There comes a point when there is just dots. Sarushka , thank you, I've heard that, but for some reason my computer doesn't like image shack...I can't even click on a someone else posted image shack photo =(

Great footage! What year was it filmed?
it's amazing when the faces in my daily writing imaginations come true and made of flash and blood just like me and not made of dreams...Indeed! Thanks again everyone!
Also I have never seen Anastasia so flirtatious as she is in those tennis photos...I'd say she had a flair for it! When a group of new to me photos happens, it both shakes up and confirms my view of themI can't agree more! Those photos took my by pleasant surprise, altering my perspective of Anastasia. It was so nice to see her having so much fun with the officers.
She was definitely the least shy among the girls. I think she enjoyed joking with them and they were entertained by her. Since she was so young, I'm not sure how romantic or flirtatious is what in her eyes. Nothing at all has really been said on that subject with Anastasia.Exactly why her body language in those tennis photos stand out to me...it's unusually grown up...and she seems a bit coy...Anastasia.?? I think O and A had a special bond , but then I think they all had special bonds...I was just thinking of starting a thread: Olga speaking /Marie listening....there so many photos where Marie is listening to something Olga is saying..including the of the last one of them together in Tobolsk ...
This was my favorite part in that bit of footage. Anastasia looks to the side and smiles very quickly at someone:Just marvelous....and they seem to be watching for someone as the officers come on broad in that footage...most of the faces were carefully looked over and they are conferring lol! Again it's unusual in the photos and footage we have seen before to see AN that involved in officer watching....usually it's Olga and Marie! lol!

I've wondered if it was OT's bedroom. The window placement is right and I think you can see the vanity-type table in the corner.

(And, burger queen, you don't need to credit that tumblr account. There's nothing new on it. They just repost pictures found here and other places on the web. They own nothing.)
Perhaps an ottoman is in front of the lounge? The lounge chair 's back is facing the right . I believe she is in the lounge...but an ottoman/table of sorts is in front of her and is cutting off the view of the royal appendages. They could be over the side, between the lounge chair and the ottoman(?) There two pieces of furniture there as the upholstery are diffrent
She might have her legs folded up under her.
Taken I believe in 1915Actually it was taken in summer of 1916, there are some more photos taken at same day. :) New to me, Carolath Habsburg!
I think it's Alix, but see the family resemblance to Ella... Her dress is dark, but her hat seems not fully in morning . Khodynka meadow is a pretty good guess.
No, I think it is the Empress because of the wedding ring on her finger. It seems the pic was retouched to emphasize her feature.

Didn't Ella wear a wedding ring during her marriage? Or do you mean that the ring doesn't match Ella's?
The photo of Olga as a baby looks like it was photoshopped from this one:

Is it just me or does this look more like Ella than Alix? Further, did either of them have reason to be wearing dark (mourning?) clothing in 1896 or 1897?
nice job!Thanks!
I don't know, I think that Joy came to the AP much later than in 1907, when approx. the photo was taken, in Finland. Is the man on far left OTMAA's Uncle Ernest?
We have so many photos of them, that we get to see thier many" looks". We all have diffrent "looks" perhaps about 4 , where our face can look quite diffrent than at other times. One wouldn't know this unless there are a good number photos of a person.
Really? I didn't know the infamous "glass breaking" incident included three sisters.Many don't , that wouldn't fit with the Olga went nuts scenario so ithe fact they all did it is usually deleted.
Do we think all three of them were flipping out, or is it more likely that Olga did her damage first in a fit of rage...then Anastasia and Marie followed suit more as a way to bond and show support for their emotionally distressed big sister...?I think they enjoyed such things. They were rough housers. If Olga started it, the small pair would have thier fun too.But it's interesting Marie begins the story to her father by saying, "Did you know??" as if it might have been reported to him already...quite possibly! Another story was Olga broke a table in a rage and laughed...nutty right? Then it turn out a small table collapsed when she sat on it and she laughed about it . Quite diffrent

Not sure if anyone has seen this. I certainly haven't. A photo of Olga and her sister during their England visit...Anastasia and Olga's faces are most visible.
You could be right about the girls, Sarushka, but Marie in general looks almost slim, certainly not 'le bon gros tou-tou", the sturdy, full-bodied girl of conventional image, though I know some of that might have come later with puberty.http://themauveroom.com/post/42620686508/olganikolaevnaromanova-olga-and-her-sisters-in (http://themauveroom.com/post/42620686508/olganikolaevnaromanova-olga-and-her-sisters-in)

Not sure if anyone has seen this. I certainly haven't. A photo of Olga and her sister during their England visit...Anastasia and Olga's faces are most visible.
Is that last one from Romania? I haven't seen it before. ;D

Yes, they were in Romania, and are photographed with Anna Vyrubova.
Isn't that the queen of Romania?
The arm on the left is AF...I've seen a slightly bigger copy . Everyone looks hot...as in warm

Thank you very much for that, otmaprivatealbums! Olga looks like maria there, IMO.
It's new to me! I've only seen the pose where she's sitting up straight with a doll in her hands.

New to me. Well found, Dru. And a sweet photo of little Olga for sure.

Looks like a nautical flag on her dress...
It seems Alix has signed it. It says " Olga and .." .but what? I can't read that.... M something and then an abbreviation

Nice to see you back Grand Princess Shandroise !
Me too :) I think Olga and Maria are the easiest to get confused with at times. I think out of all the girls, they looked the most alike.
I agree, Olga and Maria looked the most alike out of the sisters!This really proves Sophie Buxhoeveden's description:
T and A had their own distinct looks though, so they are always much easier.But in this photo, if you don't look carefully you'd think there are 2 Anastasia's.

If I hadn't zoomed the photo, I would not have known whether the Tsar was making a cross or fitting his cap. In this case, he was surely making his cap. Btw, the photo is great and it was taken in aprox. 1911 or 1912, IMHO.
It is certainly August 1912, in Moscow for the Borodino's and Moscow's celebrations. You can see the grand-duchesse Elisabeth. Thanks for this picture, new for me.]
Tatiana had such a different look than the rest of the family and Anastasia was Alix's daughter, but OM looked very much like the Romanov side.I agree with what you said about Tatiana's looks. Most people who saw them (the guards on their imprisonment in Ekaterinburg, notably Yurovsky) said Maria looked most different from the siblings. They make sense because Maria didn't resemble either Nicholas or Alix. However, (as you said) she obviously took after Romanov side, and those people didn't consider that ^^ On the other hand, one could say Tatiana looked much like Alix during her younger years at first - but if one compares her face with NAOMAA in many pictures, he/she would agree with our opinion that Tatiana is the one who really looks different from her family. (but we are open to those who won't agree with this opinion ~^^)
I might have thought Maria was Olga (I think it's the eyes)Yes, and may I add - the face shape in some pictures because they both have rather 'wide' (I don't know what word could be more appropriate) faces.
Sometimes when I look at Maria I see Alexei. If you try hard enough they all look like one another, especially Nicholas and Tatiana, Anastasia and Alix, and Tatiana and Alexei.
Does anyone know who that is behind Olga in the first photo?

It's a link to a Russian book about Olga's Christening... maybe there are lots of unknown baby pictures there. Here's a printscreen of a view of the book:

Yes, BIG pictures in there!
You have a keen eye, Karin!
The same outer dress was used in both pictures definitely! So good that you've pointed it out - I like seeing photos that show they wore one dress in different days (although it's a normal thing for people, I find it amusing to see on royals ^^)
Is Olga knitting with yarn from that sweater sitting next to her? That never occurred to me before! I love photos of them knitting...
The toy dog is somewhere between creepy and adorable. Is that a toy lion on the table?
I never noticed this and now I cannot stop wondering myself!
The dog sure ain´t real :-D

On the Standart in 1914? It's a lovely photo.
Is it 1914 or a little later? In what year did Maria start putting her hair up?
Is it 1914 or a little later? In what year did Maria start putting her hair up?
I've never seen an explanation, but for some reason Maria was allowed to put her hair up in 1914 when she was fifteen. She has her hair loose in some 1914 Standart photos, but in June/July she's wearing it up.
Is it 1914 or a little later? In what year did Maria start putting her hair up?1914, I'd say. By spring of 1914 Maria Nicholaievna was allowed to put her hair up. Maybe she looked mature by that time?
I too have often (very often) wondered why she got to put her hair up earlier than her sisters. She wasn't even pulling it back into a pony tail like Olga and Tatiana had done the year before their 16th birthdays. Very interesting.
Historically it's a minor detail, but I hope that a letter between family members gets published one day that answers this little mystery. In Romania Maria has her hair loose, then on the Standart it's up when they're having their private holiday, the same in the photos with George Mountbatten (so presumably during events related to the British/French visits? I don't have any photos of the president's visit where Maria would be visible), and it's up when the girls make a public appearance with their parents after war is declared.
This is possibly far-fetched, but I've wondered if it had anything to do with Tatiana having her hair cropped short before she turned 16. Maybe Maria was allowed to experiment informally with putting her hair up...just in case.
Finally a good copy of this photo! Thank you!
Glad you like, blessOTMA; it's good to have you back on the Forum!Thanks Dru! I saw your work on the art thread. I hope you take that up again!
I don't know if anyone has seen this, but I saw Olga in this large photo (never had noticed her before) so zoomed and cropped her:

^ Thank you, I only had a small version of that one!
When was it taken? 1917, perhaps?
So the bedroom she shared with Tatiana, then?
What room is Olga in in her sickbed picture? I know at one point she was moved to a real bed in the sickroom, but we can see here that she's still in her cot. So the bedroom she shared with Tatiana, then?
More from the hospital

From what I can make of the captions they were taken in Yaroslavl while visiting a monastery in 1913 . Here is the page where I found them http://montolga.ru/photogallery/old_photos/arhiv_monastery/
LOL I made that picture years ago... I guess it was a good job. But it is irritating to see people claiming it to be some rare original.I really dislike those photo shopped made up photos. Perhaps its the artist in me because they are rarely well done They often look creepy even scary. So often the sizes between fake and real are way off and do not match . However Ally, your work is the exception to that . Yours are the only ones I see as art and are good enough to truly fool people. I always know your work in this regard . No one does it better....true for much of Romanov photographic art
Wow, what a beautiful photo !
Any guesses as to when it was taken and what the occasion may have been? Whenever I see them wearing dark colors like this I'm instantly reminded of the well-know photo of OTM at KR's funeral in June of 1915. But this is clearly a different outfit and Olga looks a bit younger than 19 1/2. I'm guessing 1913...thoughts?

It is the 21 of May 1913, they visited the monastery of Tolga (near Yaroslav) during their trip on the Volga river.
Here is the link of the official site of this monastery, where are those pictures from: http://montolga.ru/
I think the ones of Olga in the dark dress and hat were taken in an upstairs window at the Alexander Palace. Somewhere I have an exterior photo that shows the bars on the children's windows....
For whom could she mourning in 1913?
For whom could she mourning in 1913?
I don't think she's wearing mourning. The fabric and style don't look right for that. I think it's more likely just a dark dress.

Oh I see, a mourning dress would have been more thick, isn't it?
So, it is Olga actually. The previous version of that photo was blurred, so I thought it was Maria.
It is pity that there are just few Maria's photos form the captivity, don't you agree, KarinK?
DNAgenie - the two photographs are different. This one is Olga, as Wakas said, in the other thread it´s Tatiana.
Is that Alexei looking through the telescope?
Is that Alexei looking through the telescope?
I don't think so. The boy doesn't look to be 7-8 to me. He is too young IMO. And his outfit also hardly matches to Aleksei's.
Yes, could that be Grand Duke Ludwig of Hesse? It seems that two families met at Livadia in 1912.
Wonderful picture in reply 814!!
About this old one with Tatiana and Olga perhaps mourning: no relatives died in autumn 1913, but when they were in Livadia died Dediulin, an aide-de-camp of the Tsar. It was the 26 october, and a requiem immediately took place. Then the 29 the family assisted at the funerals. It is only a guess of mine!

I agree the large pair are in mourning and Olga mentions wearing mourning in her 1913 diary...( I forget the date) I also think she's in mourning in the newer photos taken in the AP window.,. ( perhaps trying it out? They liked to take photos of landmarks) but the photo here of sewing looks like simply a dark coat . When we say no relatives passed at a certain time...well they had alot of them lol .
Is Anastasia the awkward younger sister in photo of reply 814 or what? Classic.

I recognized Derevenko, but who is Wishnyakova? Obviously the woman, but was she a lady in waiting or something?Maria Wishnyakova was Alexei's nanny. She was accused for being in a relationship with Rasputin.
What a delightful interpretation, GDSophie. Reading it brought a smile to my face. Thank you for posting!
...It's hard to say exactly what happened unless someone can link it with a diary entry or a letter!It is the middle or the end of May, 1913. The emperor's travel with a family down the river to Volga.
