I have a postcard with a photo that probably very few have seen before.  I fell in love with it the moment I saw it for sale at a postcard show.  The postcard was never used and it was in excellent condition! It was a postcard that was made in Denmark.  The photo shows a very Young Alexei in a fur hat with short clothes.  His hair is very long and curly.  He looks to be about two years old.  Click on the link below to see the postcard:

This postcard has been the most expensive purchase I ever made for a postcard for my Royalty postcard collection.  I spent $35 US Dollars for this postcard!!!!  I love this photo and I have never seen it before I purchased it.  Don't you just love it?!!!

I believe that the donkey was given to Alexei by the King of Italy. Vittorio Emmanuel or something like that.

The donkey,carriage, and the stuff the donkey was wearing was from the King of Italy.  Here is a photo of the same donkey but this time you see him with the children of the King of Italy.  I got to see the actual stuff the donkey was wearing (displayed on a fake donkey) and the carriage at an exhibit of Romanov stuff at the Museum Center in Cincinnati, Ohio.   The exhibit was in 2005 or 2006.  It was sponsoned by the great-grandchildren of the Grand Duke Dimtri.  The following photo of the Italian Royal children was also displayed at the exhibit:

The exhibit did say that the King of Italy gave the donkey and carriage as a gift to Alexei.

Most probably you are correct Princess Jill, but I believe I read somewhere that the donkey was part of a circus and knew many tricks, Alexei like it so much that the owner decided to give it to him.

I don't know if these have been posted, but they're new to me and they're adorable! If this album belongs to anyone here let us know. Alexei with his Hessian cousins George Donatus and Ludwig click for large view

I have many favourites. But I gotta say I like these few, they seem to amuse me.






I find him adorable in this one!


I have a question is this even Alexei? I found it online.

I have never seen that photo of Anastasia, though, so I'm glad you did post it even if it isn't Alexei. :) That one of him balancing on the chair is so cute, but it must have terrified his parents.
