My best gues would be 1915/1916.

Hey Ally that was a new pic for me It made my dull morning.

[RomanovMartyrs]

Sorry but can anyone help me to identify the people, place, and date of this photo?

To my best efforts it's Nicholas II, Maria, Anastasia, Alexei...and someone else. Who is the other boy? What is the year? Is this AP or..?

Thanks in advance.

i think its one of the kids of Ksenia Alexandrovna. Fedor maybe?

[Grandduchess Valeria]

Mhm, isn't that Olga and not Maria? I'm not sure, they look both so similiar. Correct me if I am wrong, but I would say its Olga

[Carolath Habsburg]

it looks like Olga to me and the other girl, Tatiana, But since i have no eye at all identifying them, im not sure.

[Grandduchess Valeria]

I would say Olga. But the other girl has a fringe/bangs and this only Anastasia had. So I would guess Anastasia. I also think there are other pics from this day and Olga and Tatiana wore both black coats :-/

In my opinion:
Olga (facing camera, laughing); Anastasia (with lighter clothes than Olga and holding boy's hand); Alexei with sailor hat and I don't know who is the boy holding Anastasia's hands. Probably in 1916 (Tsarskoe Selo)

doesnt they look way to young to be that picture taken in 1916? =0

Concerning the Photo referred to in #153:  This is from a well-known series of photos taken at Tsarskoe Selo.  Authority:  Marvin Lyons', "Nicholas II, The Last Tsar,"  page:  188, photos  288-96, (quoting) " The construction of the snow tower in the park at Tsarskoe Selo, February 1916.  Sailors from the Garde Equipage, which manned the Imperial yachts and also looked after the lakes in the Imperial parks, as well as representing the navy in the Imperial Guard, were called in to 'assist' the Emperor and his children in their effort to construct the tower." (End quote)   While the individuals are not named in Lyons' caption/s, I am of the opinion that the other boy is "Kolya" Derevenko, playmate of the Heir, and son of one of the Heir's physicians.  This series of photos ends with the later thawed snow/ice "rubble" of the tower.  AP

You are very welcome, "otmaprivatealbums."   Greetings to Spain, one of my favorite countries!  I have spent a goodly amount of time in and around Malaga and the Costa del Sol.    AP

I think that Prince Michael's of Greece's book labels that series of photos to have been taken in March of 1916? Whole series is available in Nicholas' 1914 - 1916 album. I agree, we have been debating about the year and place. 1915/6 and so on. Now I am quite certain that it was taken in early 1916 at Tsarskoe.  ;-)

Sorry to be the one always asking questions, but I've run a thousand searches on this here and can't find it. But I have seen it before so I know the topic exists!

There is a thread discussing Maria's letter to her mother when she felt left out, and Alix's response. I think these even had photos of the letters with them? If anyone could direct me to a link or thread I'd be VERY grateful. Again sorry to ask another question here. xD
