Alexei??
I was looking through Peter Kurth's Tsar last night and there was a picture that seems to be from the same vacation and it says Tatiana was with Olga and Nicholas. She did have her hair cut short at the time.
She is not Alexandra of Zarnekau, I saw her picture...Might be one of her sisters...
:) :)
Calling GDElla!!! I KNOW that you must know the answer to this!
Janet R.
I'm still betting on Daria.
On a side note, did Alexandra marry AII and Katia's son George?

Heres Daria, umm maybe it is her , but an older her? :-/
........ She herself was executed in Leningrad in 1937.
I believe she is not Daria. I've seen the picture on some site, and I'm sure it's a mistake, the woman is not Daria.
Yikes :o, Any details on this? Or just part of the "overall purges" of that awful era.
Then who is she? :-/
That woman in a Russian-court dress might be Princess Maria of Leuchtenberg, nee Countess Grabbe, spouse of Prince Nikolay Nikolaevitch Leuchtenberg-Romanovskiy.
I'm new here, but I'd need some help identifying people in this picture. I suppose it was taken at Yalta in 1891, in the silver wedding of tsar Alexander III and Empress Maria Feodorovna.
I believe I've identified some people at the picture:
1 - GD Alexander Mikhailovich (?)
5 - GD Ksenia Alexandrovna
7 - GD Olga Alexandrovna
8 - GD Alexandra Iosifovna (?)
10 - Tsarevich Nicholas Alexandrovich
11 - Empress Maria Feodorovna
12 - GD Michael Alexandrovich (?)
Any guess?
14 - GD Nicholas Nikolaievich (?)
16 - GD Dmitri Konstantinovich (?)
19 - GD George Alexandrovich (?)
20 - GD Konstantin Nikolaievich (?)
21 - Tsar Alexander III
23 - GD Andrew Vladimirovich (?)
24 - GD Vladimir Alexandrovich (?)
Any guess?
17 - Prince of Olydenburg - husband of Olyga Alexandrovna
19 - Pavel Alexandrovich
The first one is Olga......is she comb with tresses??
I don´t belive she had such a long hair at this age.
I think you may be right, Ortino. If I look closely at the frieze along the ceiling, I think I see dragonflies among the morning glories! That door in the background probably does lead to the hall, since the other doorways in the room were located at right angles to the windows at the outside corners of the room.
Here's a thread with the upstairs floorplans:
http://hydrogen.pallasweb.com/cgi-bin/yabb/YaBB.cgi?board=palace;action=display;num=1082893477
I haven't got a clue about that hangy-down thing.
I would think the section that looks wallpapered is actually a screen to separate their beds from the rest of the room. I know in one of the girls' wartime letters to the tsar, she mentions removing the screens from near their beds during warm weather to get some more air into the room. I had the small 2-3 panel sort of dressing screens in mind when I read it and couldn't figure out how that would have made such a difference in air circulation. But if they were more like partitions, that would explain things.
As for the fireplace -- I don't see it in the photo. To the left of Maria's head, I see what looks like a small dressing screen (rather like the green one that appears on the right of the painting you posted) and on the right an icon holder built into the wall. Wait a minute -- do you mean the ledge to the left of the screen may be a mantlepiece? I don't see any indication of a fireplace on the floorplan, but didn't the downstairs rooms have them in similar locations?
yup thats olga and maira!
umm well i think she had her hair up at the time. but i think she might have let it loose right in that picture. but i can't be all to shure.
About those camp beds -- has anybody got a good photo of them? The only beds I've ever seen a really clear shot of are the brass sickbeds. Even the photo of the GDs' bedroom in the Ipatiev House shows the headboards draped with blankets and the footboards obscured by chairs stacked with clothes...
Yes, Olga HAD her hair up in those times, but she was a bed in this moment and people didn't wore her hair up in the bed.
RealAnastasia.
Yes, those were the same beds. They took those beds with them everywhere they went even to house arrest, I think they even took them to Livadia also.
Initially, they did sleep on the floor. Their baggage didn't catch up with them for a little while. Olga, Tatiana, Anastasia & Alexei arrived in Ekaterinburg on May 23, but their beds weren't delivered until the afternoon of the 27th.
http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a262/margaritamarkovna/Romanov%20Photos/ipatievroom.jpg
Sorry this off the topic.
If you look near the top of the bed nearest the right side, that painting looks like the painting (http://www.livadia.org/olishka/images/olgapainting.jpg) Olga painted. That could have been Olga's bed.
http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a262/margaritamarkovna/Romanov%20Photos/ipatievroom.jpg
The picture above is the girls' room at Tobolsk, not the Ipatiev house. I've never seen it labeled otherwise.
http://www.romanov-memorial.com/Inside.htm
At this website, the whole Ipatiev house can be seen from the inside, including the Grand Duchesses' bedroom. It is much larger and grander than the picture above, clearly making them two different rooms.
Their beds were probably halfway between bed and what we'd today call a cot. They were nickel-plated, and basically collapsable. I've searched the web looking for WWI-era camp beds, but I'm not having much luck. Here's the modern equivalent, which is quite a bit less fancy, but I think the basic structure is the same:
(http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y285/sarahelizabethii/cot.jpg)
I slept on one of those things in a tent once, it was the most uncomfortable night I ever spent. I prefer the floor, or even the ground to those things. What a shame they never got to sleep on real matresses in their lives.
I agree, although they might have had very good backs- my mom slept on one of those cots in India and it made her back feel better, surprisingly.
realy i would have never quessed.

MariaAnastasia
Do you know what year the photo was taken? Even with an approximate date, we could rule out somebody based on skirt length and hairstyle...
(At first glance, I'm leaning toward Maria)
Hey guys,
Regarding the mysterious grand duchess, according to the book called "Nicholas and Alexandra- the family albums", it says that its Grand Duchess Olga (in my opinion as well). It says that it was taken in 1908 at Padio Sari on the Baltic coast. That would make Olga a 12 year old grand duchess in that picture. It seems like it right?

Anyone know who this is? It was identified as Aleksey, but it isn't him.
Looks like Alix to me??
Janet R.
It looks more like Stana or Militza to me.
i found this photo in a vintage clothing and antique store i work in on the east coast in the us actually i think it is a repo and some one has written 1893 on it (which can mean nothing) i think it might be maria pavlovna "the elder" grand duchess of vladmir ... if this photois not her any ideas who she might be?
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v220/Beergnome/royaljewels2.jpg)
To me, it looks like late 1917-early 1918, Tobolsk.I agree. Looks like Olga, to me.
I agree. Looks like Olga, to me.Oh My! I can see Olga too! For the longest time I always thought it was Tatiana. So I looked over the picture and can see both girls. I'm so confused now *rattles brain* [smiley=undecided.gif]
... where is his right arm, you see the hand but where is the arm. thanks for the your ideas

Could someone please identify the baby Alix is with? I think it's Marie, but I'm not sure.

What a wonderful group you obtained!
I'm not sure about the one photo with the 2 men and the Vladimir children--neither adult male looks like any member of the family I know of (though I'm not an expert on some of the lesser-known branches) but the one male is definitely not Alexander III. I don't think the bald man is Paul--his head was shaped differently.
I can clearly see Olga and Anastasia in this pic, but it the other girl Marie or Tatiana?
http://i196.photobucket.com/albums/aa312/otmaa/OTA/aot-1.jpg (http://i196.photobucket.com/albums/aa312/otmaa/OTA/aot-1.jpg)
Does anyone think it strange that this small child is with the IF when they are under captivity? The family obviously knows the child well from the way it sits in the picture. Why would they have a small child with them?
Where did this photo come from? I haven't seen it before. In the other picture, it doesn't look like the child is posing, but actually hanging out with them. This picture was taken inside the stockade fence. I would think with all the monotony of captivity, that one of the family members would have mentioned in their diary, that they played with a cute little child from the town. They mention other interactions, such as the nuns bringing the eggs from the town, etc. Why not mention this and why wouldn't the mother want to pose with the family as well? Still seems odd to me. Do you have any other pictures of this child?
http://img184.imageshack.us/my.php?image=dbf41rd0.jpg
Who is the child? Ebay said it was Olga Nicholaievna, but I want to be sure.
is that cousin Willy greeting Nicky?

Thankyou! And...err I have another question. (That's all I seem to do :D)
Who is the boy here with MA and Alexei?
(http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c82/anna_11/MA1910-1.jpg)
I can understand a parent being reluctant to pose with the exiled imperial family. It may have been cute and harmless for a toddler to be photographed with a bald grand duchess, but perhaps not wise for an adult to link him or herself with the overthrown regime. Or perhaps a passing child was lifted over the fence to play -- the grand duchesses did love to fuss over little children, and the fence was not prohibitively high -- but an adult was not allowed in.
Our main source for info during the IF's captivity is Alix's diary, and that may explain why there's no mention of the child in the existing record. Alix often stayed indoors during the alloted exercise period, and perhaps never met the child. I would imagine the grand duchesses would have written about it in their diaries, but to my knowledge none of their diaries from captivity have survived.

Why do you see that other poster was wrong? That's a wedding drawing of Nicholas II and Alexandra Fedorovna. Empress MF is behind them (at left). Of course there is a resemblance of Nicholas II to Alexander II, after all the late was his grandfather.
Can anyone tell me where these were taken? I think I know a lot of them, I just want to be sure. Sorry I have to post links, but my computer crashed, and is very slow. They'll be more, I just didn't want to post them all at once.

Crimea was part of Russia during IF regin. ;). But I think I know what you mean.
In the beginning still photo and at the end I think it shows Alexandra.
I thought the one w/ her was Dowager Empress Maria at first, but on second look maybe it's Queen Alexandra.
I think it´s Queen Alexandra - Empress Marie appears a bit later.
Then, you mean, Igor Konstantinovch? Or someone else is there?
Edit: I think we can not be sure, since we don't know were photos taken at same time/day?
Do that person match with ones in this (http://s185.photobucket.com/albums/x139/nemanjapr/Romanov/Stavka%20u%20Mogiljevu/?action=view¤t=Aleksje_NII_Igor_Zilijar_na_Dnjepru.jpg)?
And, can be instead of Botkin, tutor Pyotr/Peter Vasilevich Petrov? I believe it can be Botkin, sine doctors needed to be near the Heir every day.
Could someone tell me, who is that boy with Misha and Olga on this photo?
I found this book, in "The Last Grand Duchess" of Olga Alexandrovna.
It's Olga Alexandrovna and two cousins, I think its Princess Alexandra of Saxe-Coburg and Grand Duchess Elena Vladimirovna.
Alexandra had a rounder face right?
The label said "imperial child". Anyone knows which one?

No. This is GDss Alexandra Georgievna with her daughter GDss Maria Pavlovna-younger.
To me this is 100% Alexandra Feodorovna - but the archive has identified it Elizaveta Feodorovna (I think Ella took the photo and gave it to the Tsar with her dedication - still it is Alix). We had a little fight :)
Your opinions?

Not at alll. 0 resemblance, in fact the boy posted looks more like GD Dimitri Pavlovich (im not saying its him but i see some resemblance) than young Nicholas.it is similar Dimitri Pavlovich, if you have certainty you can write? I send a photo of the empress, coming from same album , you know the child? thanks
and as i said before, the photograph technic and how it looks it modern than 1878`s pictures. I d say the picture of that boy is from early 1900s.
I have found online, these two images identified like grand duke Alexander Mikailovich ( husband of grand duchess the Xenia) and Anna Vyrubova. it is possible? I have of the doubts. Thank you

How cuteee!! thats Georgiy Alexandrovich!! *0*
Respectfully, this photo is a female baby. The dress is flowing and obviously is a dress. The shoes are girl-style with ankle straps and tipped at the front with embellishments. I really think that this identification needs to be reviewed considering this is not a photo of a boy.
i know this seller and i ve helped a few times in put right labels to his/her pictures. At least he/she is nice and accept her/his mistakes not like Hephaiste who sells in it majority, fake pictures about royalty and when you try to correct him/ her he/she gets pissed off.They are not a vendor and is a pleasure to acquire photo of the Romanov, To identify the Imperial Family is easy but others are difficult. Some vendors are sure and create many doubts, find in sale photo of the Vyrubova,Sophie Buxhoeveden , guards of ipatiev' house , and others Thanks of your aid! . Hephaiste no comment !!!!!!!!
Svetabel is right. Here s a proof that baby Georgiy as many baby boys of that period used dresses

I have studied victorian fashion for years so im talking with arguments.

By lookinhg how old Nicky is you can count out that it is Gerogiy in the dress.

I don't know if it is a correct assumption to make that just because a boy on the right is known to be someone of a certain age that the figure on the left has to be a male wearing a dress. There are no males wearing dresses in that family, I am certain of it. I think that by then they had the good sense to use knickers and boots on boys and I have not yet seen a male dressed like a female, royal or not, in that era.
I see at the left Nicholas Ii, Alexandra and Gd serge Alexandrovich, At the right, Gd Vladimir Alexandrovich and perhaps Maria Pavlovna, but im in doubt with this one cause it could be also Ella.-
That was on sale and i dont know either who s the little girl in Sandro`s lap

This portrait is currently on ebay. It says its an original portrait of Nicholas in 1909
It has a lot of "proofs" that this is an original portrait of the Tsar but im not sure since this gent doesnt look that much as Nicholas (or it could be a painter who wasnt that accurate protraying people)
Since i cant post links to ebay `auction, if someone wants it, just tell me and i will send it via PM ;-D
the portrayed gent looks a lot like Archduke Josef Ferdinand of Austria-tuscany
i found this portrait as "prince Nicholas". it could be Tsarevich Nicholas Alexandrovich? (since i can see some resemblance) . Thanks in advanced!

He looks too young to be Mannerheim, who was a young man in the beginning of the 1890s. But the photos is of 1908-1912 years due to the style of the Empress' dress and hat.
This photo was with other photos of the grand duchess Ksenia Aleksandrovna , I think the princess Irina Yusupova but you recognize the man? thanks

Thank you, Ann. That makes sense to me. He is also in the back ground of a well known photo of Olga and her ( their) Uncle Ernie on board the yacht. Thanks Sunny...Dickie's elder brother's name was George. He died in his 30's from cancer. Of all the tragedies in his mother's life, she said that was the worst...which says alot about the pain of losing a child

Of Irene's sons, it was Waldemar and Heinrich who were haemophiliacs. Sigismund was the healthy one.
I saw a photo of him watching tennis in Finland and he had a much larger heel on one shoe than another. A bent leg would explain that .
This photo was with other photos of the grand duchess Ksenia Aleksandrovna , I think the princess Irina Yusupova but you recognize the man? thanks

My feeling is that he is some sort of close family friend or retainer, but not a relation. Could he be Xenia's confidant Serge Dolgoruky - has anyone seen a picture of him?I have not seen photos of Serge Dolgoruky, but it is possible because the woman in the photo, probably named Irina ( later mistakenly identified as Irina Yusupova) . Serge Dolgoruky had married Irina Vassilievna Naryshkin (1879-1917) , Xenia friend. The daughter Olga was Viscountess Tredegar. Possible?

I have read that Irina was the mother ( from the first marriage ) of Maria Illarionovna Vorontsova-Dashkova ,wife of Prince Nikita Alexandrovich son of GD Xenia.My feeling is that he is some sort of close family friend or retainer, but not a relation.

can you identify them
I've often seen the woman at the center of this photo identified as Isa Buxhoeveden, though it's never looked like her to me. Today on tumblr I saw her identified as Princess Alice of Battenburg. Which is correct?

I think she is Olga Byutsova.
This man is identified as GD Andrei Vladimirovich , I have not found similar photos for comparison. Thanks

I may be a bit slow on the uptake here, but who exactly is Olga Byutsova?
I'm puzzled over this photo. GDss Olga,her husband Prince Petr and... ??? The caption says a young woman is a Princess of Oldenburg, sister of Prince Petr. As we know Petr was the only child of his parents. May be she is his cousin?

They are very informal and relaxed!

I think it is possibly Andrei. I haven't seen any pictures of him in profile, but he certainly had that sort of receding hairline and a moustache. There are pictures of him in civilian clothes after 1920 in Coryne Hall's 'Imperial Dancer', which could provide a comparison.

Any ideas about this portrait?
The Royal Collection Trust identified the boy in the first picture as Dmitri Konstantinovich, and the boy in the second as Vyacheslav Konstantinovich. Am I right to think they have it mixed up and it is actually quite the opposite?
Thank you Svetabel. Here goes another Royal Collection question. They labelled the following image as Elizaveta Mavrikievna with her two eldest sons, but the lady does not look like Elizaveta to me?
The lady in blue looks like Gdss Olga Feodorovna of Russia and the other one looks like Eugenie of Oldenburg, nee Eugenie Maxilianovna of Leuchtenberg :-D
I originally meant to give "Sonia" as a correction to the listed "Sofia" above.I now think Sofia might be her formal given name, though written references to her , by those close to her or otherwise, overwhelmingly have her as Sonia.Until seeing it in the 1903 Ball catalog I'd never seen her referred to as Sofia.
I have a question on this painting:
Ball at the Assembly Hall of the Nobility in St Petersburg on 23 February 1913
Kardovsky, Dmitry Nikolaevich

Who are the members of the imperial family seated and standing under the red canopy ?
Seated:
Grand Duchess Victoria Feodorovna - Grand Duchess Maria Pavlovna - Dowager Empress Maria Feodorovna - ? - ? - Empress Alexandra Feodorovna
Maybe some of you know who the other two women are !
Does anyone know who the man in civilian costume is in this photo? He's the only one in civilian clothes, and it's neither Gilliard nor Gibbes, and I find it curious.
