Question about and/or Help with a Picture

What's up with Tatiana!?

 

is it just me or did Tatiana seem to smile more as a child? and i mean before the pressures of the war even began.

Well, sometimes Tatiana looks pretty angry!

[moonlight_tsarina]

Yeah, so does Anastaisa! like in the pic of the whole family on the Standart, and she is pouting!  

[otmafan]

You're right.

A stormy day?

A stormy day?

Must of been. They all look rather cranky.  

[bball33]

Yeah they probably wanted to do something and they couldn't

[moonlight_tsarina]

Must of been. They all look rather cranky.  

yeah, Alix looks frustrated...perhaps they have been at a sitting for  a while...  

[Maria_Romanov_fan]

Is it me, or are they all focusing on the same thing?

[Lanie]

Probably the camera.  Remember, it wasn't "en vogue" to smile in photographs.

[moonlight_tsarina]

yeah. and especially in earlier photos because everyone had bad teeth! lol

But also, hthe people wanted to be seen as solemn charachters.

I actually heard that the grand duchesses had a gap between their two front teeth. This may have been another reason why they hardly ever flashed their pearly whites.

Here's one. You can't really see Anastasia's gap, but I have a feeling it's there!

[Lanie]

Olga, Maria and Anastasia did...varying degrees of it.  I don't think Tatiana did, from photos I've seen she had wonderfully straight teeth (I'm jealous).

[moonlight_tsarina]

This picture is a perfect example of Olga's gap!you can vaguely see something going on there... i also thought there was one, but i wasn't sure until now This pic isn't as clear as one i've seen before so the gap isn't as easy to see.

[moonlight_tsarina]

Here's a pic which, oddly enough, looks more easy to see the gap when it's black and white.


You can also see this in Anastasia's album.
