Question about/help with photos of Anastasia

[Beautiful_Anastasia]

I feel like a right dunce asking all these questions here, but, does anyone know what the caption says under this picture?:

[Ally Kumari]

I´m not sure if the first word I translate correctly into English, but I think it would be "Emperor´s daughters, Their Imperial Highnesses Olga, Tatiana, Maria, Anastasia"

[Beautiful_Anastasia]

Thankyou very very much Ally, you have no idea how much this has helped me!

In this photo,  who is the man next to Anastasia and who are the little boys between Alexei and Tatiana?

The man next to Anastasia I belive is Heinrich of Prussia and the boys between Alexei and Tatiana is there cousin Georg Donatus and Ludwig of Hesse.

Hi everyone, I have recently come accross a video on Youtube of actual footage of the Romanovs, and in it there are scenes taken from what I think is Flower day, but I'm not sure what year. If anyone can help to identify it that would be great.

Here is this video, in case you haven't seen it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pG2Hec_8Vzc

The flower day scene occurs at around 2 minutes and 38 seconds in.

Thanks again!

It was White Flower Day in the Crimea -- 1912.

What is Anastasia doing in this picture? It is very puzzling, maybe she's performing some bizarre ritual?

Could this possibly be an Ouroboros the ancient symbol for eternal return & resurrection. What better person to be inside other than Anastasia, the one who will rise again. With all her mystic connections doubtless she would have known its meaning ?

[Holly]

That's a very interesting thought, Carisbrooke. Although, I very highly doubt this photograph was meant to be representative of anything so metaphorical as "eternal return". She was still a child.

What's your question about it? It's a pretty well known photo--taken sometime during the war years, on a balcony. There's a fuller version of it somewhere.

[nena]

Yes, it was taken in 1915 at AP balcony.

[Maria-Nikolaevna]

Yes, it was taken in 1915 at AP balcony.

Thank you.

тяв?

What's she holding in her hand?

[Holly]

I've heard they are cherries but I'm sure that was just a guess. They may be right.
