Well Ally it maybe is not rare to you but to someone else.... i don't really care from where is it...It's good that it's available

As Ally said the picture is from Beinecke and as this is quite well known, no one needs to post pictures from this website in this thread. Because if people would bother to look around in Beneicke's archives, they'll find those pictures. :)


Exactly my point. Thank you Siham.

Well on the same point but we are all taking photos from everywhere with one only hope to make them popular.I don't see something bad in this,on your logic Ally let's send all visitors to the site where you are taking photos and you and all other which we are downloading photos.I don't think this position is correct,and i don't see nothing wrong in this to look for photos from everywhere and to post it here in our discussion forum.After all agree that none of us can be author on those photos.Only people who have approach to the archives of the imperial family can pretend for some sort of copyright. This is my point of view :)

The point is - this is rare pictures thread, for posting images that are extremely hard to find. Practicaly everybody with a serious interest in the Romanovs will stumble upon Beckeine - there are links to it everywhere, since it´s a very unique project. It is accesable to everyone at any time, you don´t need any registration and you can go through the albums yourself. So there is no point posting images from Anna Vyrubova´s albums to Rare picture thread.
I wasn´t criticizing or anything, I was just pointing out the obvious. Almost every newbie posts once in a while Beckeine pics here and is adviced not to do that, because those pictures are not "rare" in the particular sense of the word.

Expect last Anna Vyrubova's sold album, which indeed contains rare ones. I am still finding, but always same results. I agree with you Ally! ;-)

Of course Beniecke library contains great ones, but already seen.

I agree with those with the newbies that is not good to post pictures which aren't rare,but this doesn't except that there may be some rare pictures which may be post here and there is nothing wrong in it.As nena said.I don't criticizing but i'm saying my point of view.My idea was that there is nothing bad to post some value  picture no matter from where is it.

OK Elly - we don´t mean it´s bad to post ANY picture. But the one you posted does not belong to this thread, since it´s from very well-known source and everybody going through the albums will see it. Do you understand now? To everyone: please, do not post Beckeine pics here.

OK. Is this rule or desire? And why from one photo you are making such problem?

You are being too touchy now. I only asked you politely, expressing DESIRE of many, who had pointed the thing I did many times before, to be aware Beickeine pics do not belong here. There is no problem, it was a polite request based on a respect for you as a member of this forum. If you are annoyed by it, I´m not to blame.

I think that the "no posting pictures from Beinicke" on this thread was said by a moderator.Not sure tho...

We go through this issue quite regularly. For longtime members such as myself, it's more and more unusual to see a truly "rare" photo on these threads. Probably only about 10-15% of the photos I see on these threads are rare to me, but I keep my mouth shut because once in a while someone posts something new and stunning -- like the recent roller skating pictures from KarlandZita.

IMO, there's really no straightforward solution. So many of the old photo postings have broken links that it's impossible for new members to acquaint themselves with what's been posted here in the past. Even the Beinecke collection has new additions from time to time, so we can't say for certain that Beinecke's photos are all common.

Honestly, do we even need a "Rare" thread when the qualifications for rarity are so contentious? Maybe we should just go back to posting in the regular photo threads...
