Bad quality hammock photos

She doesn't look very happy. Has someone surprised her, or is the hammock too slack to be comfortable?

That's a lovely photo!
How old were they in that picture? They look pretty small!

Do you mean the photo on board the Standard? It was taken in approx. 1905 so Olga was almost 10, Tatiana was 8, Maria 6, Anastasia 4 and Alexei was cca 1 year old. (It also depends in which month the photo was taken).

Thank you!

I have no idea what they are doing, what that pole is for, how Maria hasn't learned how to fly yet laying on that swing(?) but one thing is for sure; the Imp has been defeated by the Amicable Angel. Anastasia has perished, crushed by her older sister Maria.

OTMA meant Olga, Tatiana, Maria and Alexei all along! I have cracked the Romanov case! Historians gather forth!

Haha, that's great GDSophie! Thanks for the cute anecdote :-)

And it turns out this particular photo is new to me...so thanks for that as well.

I suppose the photo was taken on the same day as this famous one?



The pole has actually ropes and "snares" attached to it and the point to slip into the snare and then run as quickly as possible - until you were lifted off the ground like on a carrousel. There are actually quite a few pictures of the Romanovs having fun like this.

There was a pole like this in my local park where I grew up and it was very popular. It had rings at head or shoulder height (instead of snares) so you and your friends grasped the rings then ran in a circle until your feet were off the ground and you swung out and round the pole as if you were flying. Great fun!
