Well, yes. I am not sure if there was any poster for any 1913 ball. I have never heard of it, but 1913 was such a year, that perhaps a ball needn't be big to have a poster if it was special ball for the celebrations that year.

There was posters! At least that what I have red... The ball was held couse of celebrate the 300 year lasting Romanov ruling era..

as i early said In the poster is a portrait of the first Romanov tsar: Mihail Romanov and he is wearing coat :and the latest: Nikolai II Romanov who is wearing uniform.... the poster was colorful and they were send for excample to Snt. Petersburg, Moskow, Siperia and near the boundary of China .. they were transported there by train, ships and in somewhere they even used camels    I got this info in book which telss the life of Alma Pihl who was a designer of Faberge. This book is made by Anu Seppälä and I'm not sure if it's translated into any else langue but finnish....  :-/

I have not yeat found the poster but I like to found it... instead I've found some menus etc. about the Romanov-Dynasty *birthday* and all of them are beautifully decorated by all of the tsars and the tsarevish. I'd like to share with you this cloth becouse I think it is beautiful even it does not *belong* to this topic

I hope this hasn´t been posted already. If so, please, Forum Admin, delete the thread. Or move it since I had no idea where to put it
A photobook on the great Romanov anniversary.

Fantastic! If I may add:



I'll add that Year was in Russian Empire full of ceremonies. I'd love to see IF plans of visitings and ceremonies from that year. Whih cities IF visited, when,and some datilies.

It was February 21th 1613 -- at Kostroma when the first of all Romanovs was choosed and conorated as First Emperor, at Iptiyevsky monastery.



Also, 1913 was successful year in Imperial Russia. In many points of view. IF toke hundreds of photos, as regimentlas, as officials.

Interesting thread, Grand Duchess Ally !!! The last three photos you posted (the photos of the members of the IF)  are really wonderful 

[nena]

In 1913, Russia was second or third state in world because of economy.
I think IF started 'tour' across Russia from Kostroma on May 1913:

Also, I believe moment of 300 years was day 22nd February 1913. Alright?
They visited Feodorovsky and Uspensky Gorodok.

Is anyone thoroughly familiar with letters, diaries, and other Imperial Family documents interested in posting what they were up to 100 years ago each day?

[Svetabel]

Somewhat I can't understand your topic. Please specify/clarify your question.

[CorisCapnSkip]

When these reenactors did a Bicentennial commemoration, they read the journal entry each day for where the group they portrayed was and what they did that day.  Since the Imperial family kept many letters, diaries, and other documents (didn't the Tzar even catalog his cufflinks?) there must be an exact day-to-day record of where they were and what they did each day, for anyone who is interested enough in the topic.

[markjhnstn]

They must have been taking photos nearly every other day!!

[CorisCapnSkip]

Yes, it's amazing how many pictures survived and it's been said we haven't seen all there are.

If more of the IF's diaries- letters had been published, this would be an easier topic to do, but it can still be done. Books that would help people contribute to this topic are A Lifelong Passion, the War-time Correspondence of Nicholas and Alexandra, and Olga's 1913 diary. Also, on this site, the Time Machine, there are diaries and letters of the Romanovs. I don't own those books. But anyway, we should decide on a year to start at- April of what year? I think there will be days we won't be able to fill in, but others we can.

People READ THE THREAD TITLE.  It says 100 years ago today...That means 1909.....geeeeezzzzzz

I only have Spiridovitch to use for this purpose. I can only tell you that all of April 1909 was at the Alexander Palace. Vladimir Alexandrovich had died on Feb. 4, 1909 and the Court would have been in mourning. Easter was spent at the Palace.  I have no specific dates mentioned for April at all, and nothing until May 23, 1909 when the Monument to Alexander III was dedicated in St. Petersburg.
