Sorry about my last post: no message.
Regarding the 1917 picture of AN, MN, and TN taken before their hair was cut, I have found a picture that I believe was taken at the same time. The photograph of Marie and her father was taken in the older girls' bedroom at TS (as can be noted by the decorations on the ceiling and what appears to be a raven's wing hanging from the light fixture. ) It looks as if Marie is still recovering from measles since she is sitting in a lounge chair and is in a dressing gown. This would place the time of the photograph sometime in March or April 1917. I will try to figure out how to post this picture, but, in the meantime, it can be found in The Fall of the Romonovs. The caption incorrectly identifies her as Alexandra although the picture definitely is of Marie. (Yes, I know this is an Anastasia site, but I was trying to shed some light on the picture of AN and her sisters.)
I will have to look into how to send the picture. Help.
