Can anyone tell me one thing: when I read that Grand Duchess Alexandra Iosifovna died on 6 july 1911, this date refers to the Julian calendar or the gregorian one?
Second question does anyone konw when her funeral was held?
While the first one is well known, the other two are new to me. Anyone knows who the lady is? The pictures look almost informal with little Nicky lying around :-)

Svetabel, of course, is right in her opinion of the exhibition, especially from her point of view as specialist. I, as an enthousiastic amateur, received a lot joy from the exhibition. It is organised in the big ballroom. This hall is nomally closed and thus now in use for this exhibition. To walk in this big hall, known from the splendid balls organised by the Shuvalov family, is a great experience in itself! Also, the exhibition on the Items purchased at that Coutau-Begarie auction, has been extended by materials from the Russian State Archive and from the Faberge museum itself. Those items from the State Archive are rarely on display and made this exhibition extra interesting. In the end, when this exhibition is closed, also the materials purchased on that auction, will be tranfered to the State Archive. It is so interesting and touching to see letters, notes, written by hand by Felix, Irina and other people we only know by name and from books! So there is a lot to enjoy in this exhibition!
Thanks for sharing those photos and link! How I wish I could attend that exhibit!
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 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?
who are these menГруппа генералов и адмиралов с великим князем Михаилом Николаевичем. 1870 г
Группа = Gruppa
генералов = generalov
и = i = and
адмиралов = admiralov
с = s = with
великим = velikim
князем = knyazem
Михаилом = Mikhailom
Николаевичем = Nikolayevichem
Can you guess now? :-)
Now this is an interesting picture!
Grand Duke Konstantin with his elder brother, the infamous Nicholas Konstantinovich and an unidentified lady
I did not know the brothers met after Nicholas was exiled!
The image belongs to the Royal COllection Trust.

I´ve never seen the right upper one
Based on Ella's outfit, it might have been taken on the same occasion in 1907 when she was photographed with Dmitri and her sister Victoria. Is it Ilinskoe?

Thank you Svetabel for the identification! Perhaps you might help me once more? I suppose the children are Gavril, Tatiana, but I am not sure about the little one. Konstantin or Oleg? Or somebody else altogether?
KR and his cousin Alexei Alexandrovich (at least I think it´s KR)
