Help Verify this Photo

[scottjsilverman]

I purchased some original tsarist era photos and post cards about thirty years ago.  The photos were said to be inherited from Baron (General) Wladimir Woyeikov, commandant of the Imperial Hussards at Tsarskoe Selo.  Who knows for sure?

In any event, here is a photograph.  I was told it was Tsar Nicholas II (very hard to tell with his back to the camera), his wife, etc.  Nevertheless, there is some writing on the border. Any help is appreciated.  In any event, I will post some others later.



Thanks.

It's hard to tell in a scan this size, but I believe I recognize (L to R) Sablin, Tatiana Nikolaevna, Nicholas II, Olga(?) Nikolaevna, and Alexandra Fedorovna (seated).

I'm terrible at deciphering Russian handwriting but I can make out some words:
The emperor and his family...
Empress Alexandra Fedorovna with...
V.N. Voiekov

Svetabel or another native Russian speaker will probably be able to help better than I.

Thanks.  If you would like a higher resoltuion scan, just let me know.

The translation is:

Gosudar (Sovereign) with family on the right side
Gosudarinya Alexandra Fyodorovna on
the left side General V. N. Voyeikov.

I've found a clearer, cropped version of the photo in my collection:



Now I'm quite sure that the grand duchess in profile is Tatiana. The man on the far left is labeled in my collection as Sablin. (The full photo appears in Private World of the Last Tsar. According to Count Grabbe's caption, the photo was taken in 1916.)

The photo happens to be an "original" photo in my collection.  It is mounted on cardboard.  Now, I suspect it cannot be original since your copy is far sharper.  Is your post from the book or do you have a photo?

[Sarushka]

The scan seems to be sharper than the image in the book, so I'm assuming I found it online - possibly from Livadia.org, judging by the file name.

There's also GD Anastasia (IMO) beside the man whom Tatiana is talking to.

I'm pretty sure the first girl is GD Tatiana; I know her profile quite well; and yes, the other girl is Anastasia. I think it's her for her way of standing...Otherwise, it should be very hard to recogniza her, since the only thing you may see of her is her back and the back of her head.
