Tatiana Photographs III

[Dust_of_History]

It's part of that fur thing that's around her neck. But for the life of me, I can't remember what it's called.

Ah ok, thanks for the info. I think it is called a shawl or a stole.

@blessOTMA:Tatiana looks great on this picture. :-) But what is this thing on her lap? Is this a dog or something?

lol! Actually that's a good question. It's a fox! The fashion at that time was to keep the head on the fur piece and yes,  stole is the term. So it's a white fox stole. There is a  photo of Olga and Marie similarly dressed taken at the same time Quite stylish for the girls really

O_O A fox?! I think the idea of wearing a dead animal around one's neck is very scary. Fashion can be so strange. ;-) I have to admit the whole dress looks pretty good on Tatiana but....ughhhhh

That is just the way it was DoH.

My great-granny have one of these and I loved to play with it...Well; I must to have say I liked to play with THEM, since there were two animals (there was not a fox, just another animal, similar to skunks but white and without smell  ) united by their mouths. It wasn't nothing scary in them. I pretended they were fighting until my great-granny would come and say I must not play with her furs, for I could splash it with dirt and such...But at least she would let me to play with it.

I love this one. She looks so nice and relaxed...

[RealAnastasia]

This versions of the "relaxed Tatiana" is clearer than the other's I've seen.

Vanesa.

Yes, it is. It's obviously been edited since the original is from Anastasia's Album and hand-tinted.

found on eBay....I have books from the 20's with this photo, so it's been around. But  it's always printed tiny. I have  never seen it  this big before I would say a  1916  formal . Stunning as always

[Holly]

Wow -- I'm amazed! ALWAYS wanted a big version of that! Thank you so much for sharing the find, blessOTMA!

Another nice picture of Tanya

[Tasia]

Very elegant!

Am I the only one that thinks she looks in her late twenties? IMO, she had a rather grown-up face, like in the picture from 1906 with Olga holding Alexei and Maria and Tatiana holding hands, I think M and T's faces look a lot older than their bodies. I think it just makes them look more beautiful.
