Is this picture available in the Prinzessinnenhaus in Wolfsgarten?

The last official portrait of Elisabeth was taken in Darmstadt in November 1903. In it she is wearing a romanian costume, a present from her aunt Queen Maria, and kneels on the floor looking down.

Where have you seen this picture?
Is there any way to post it?

But there were her cousin Carol of Romania, George of Greece (they could really have been a lovely match! What do you think?) and maybe Alexander of Serbia? Hmm...


Certainly not Carol.  And I think Alexander was in love with her cousin Olga, or at least, he was interested in her.

But I think George of Greece would have been a good one-he was by most accounts, a pretty nice guy and he deserved better than Elisabeta of Roumania!

I love the formal portrait of Ella with Tatiana and Olga.  I love her dress-it looks just like my First Communion dress.

May the road rise up to meet you.
May the wind always be at your back.
May the sun shine warm upon your face,
and rains fall soft upon your fields.
And until we meet again,
May God hold you in the palm of His hand.

I am sorry but unfortunately I don't own a copy of it. I have seen it in the archive in Darmstadt. I doubt that it was ever printed as a postcard

What about the picture someone posted earlier of Ella in folk dress-could that be from the same photo session?

Linnea had posted it. But I think at this picture Elisabeth was younger.

The one you mean dates from 1901 as far as I know. The costume she is wearing is a hessian one - a Hüttenberger Tracht (which survives to this day and is exhibited at Wolfsgarten Castle, Hesse)

One more of Ella

I think  that isn't a Hessian costume. And this isn't in Wolfsgarten. There is exhibited a typical Oberhessische Tracht

How about one of the Windsor boys?  I just love match-making for dead people!  LOL!  LOL!

Sure :) Many of the photographs in the Grand Ducal Collection are digitalized now and currently one can search through about 50 albums and a bunch of single-photos in the computer there.

It takes your breath away and is a real treasury - so many unknown photos of Empress Alexandra and her hessian family.

As for the documents and letters in the Grand Ducal Archive: one has to write to the Landgraf of Hesse asking for special permission to work/research with these

She did have an unsettling look sometimes of sadness. Her mother had that too though. Elizabeth looked a good deal like her mother I think, and she would most likely have been tall. I have often wondered what her relationship was with her maternal grandparents as well. Elizabeth was pretty young when Alfred, her grandfather died though.

I meant this photograph. This is a Hüttenberger Tracht and still preserved at Wolfsgarten. In your photo she seems to wear something Russian or even Romanian as well
