My first instinct upon seeing photos such as the one above is to immediately click "Like."  If only there were such a button here.

Has there ever been a family, before or since, who could look as grand as this one?

I presume this was taken in 1903 or early 1904. I think the smaller boy is Prince Henry? If so, this may be one of the last photos of him taken, or at least the last one of him with relatives.

I clicked on this site a few days ago and found a new addiction.  It is an unbelievable trove of photos and videos I have never, ever seen before.  It would be so easy to spend hours at this site.  Thanks for posting, Ally!

Some newly discovered photos go on show at the Science Museum in London. The images were captured by Herbert Galloway Stuart, an English tutor to Grand Duchess Xenia's sons, between 1908 and 1916. They were unearthed by chance at the National Science and Media Museum in Bradford.

Here's the one that features only Maria and one of her cousins.
