i can see the immediate IF, apart from perhaps michael- is that him on the far right? And is that Marie's sister standing near her? But can anyone tell me who the others are?

Yes, it is Michael. I am guessing King Christian IX of Denmark (far left) is also presented with wife and daughters. Is there Queen Alexandra ?

Hi,

Some of these I'm guessing:
Christian IX, Maria Feodorovna, Queen Louise, Alexandra
                            Olga
GD George, Maud (guess), Xenia, Alexander III, Michael, Victoria (Toria)
GD Nicholas (Nicholas II), GD Alexander Michaelovich (guess)

I merged TunaEars's question into the "Looking for Help with Photos/Captions" thread. Perhaps this larger thread should now also be combined with the thread called "identification"? (I'll leave that decision to one of the mods who's more active on this board than I am.)

Okay which is which? I'm guess one is Nicky the other George! So who's the man behind Alexandra and who's behind Tatiana (one wearing brown sipping I'm guessing tea) the other in white... this is driving me crazy!

Thank you for your help!

Second from the left is Nicholas, and the man behind Tatiana is GD Aleksander Mikhailovich (in white uniform). First from the right is his wife, Ksenia.

This is the other picture from the same day

Ha! I've always read how King George V of England and Nicholas were almost like twins so when I mistook one for the other I figured it was George... my bad! Thank you for the correction!

My five cents;)

"White uniform" here - the military common/summer uniform of the Naval Guard Crew. Although Alexander Michailovich at that time (1914-1917) was an unofficial leader/patron of the Imperial Air force, he wears his native Naval uniform and Vice Admiral/General Adjutant epaulets (~1914/1915).

Nicholas II on these photos is in his ordinary and beloved Suite's uniform, with Order of St. George and Colonel epaulets.

And my 2 cents :)
These pictures were probably done the 28th May 1914 in the Crimea.
See NII's diary:
После 12 час. поехали на Эриклик, куда собралось все общество из Харакса и Кичкенэ, и Ксения и Сандро с сыновьями.
Завтракали в столовой и потом сидели в саду. День стоял чудный с бризом, жара такая легкая.
В 3 часа гости разъехались и мы пошли пешком в Ливадию.

English approximative translation: "After 12 o'clock we went to Eriklik where was assembled the whole Haraks and Kichkene's society with Xenia, Sandro and their sons. We had lunch in the dinning room and then stayed in the garden. The day was marvellous with breeze (...) At 3 (...) we went to Livadia by foot.

Good detective work matushka  ! That part about the garden, on top of the same persons there as in the photos, seems to clinch it

Did you get it from Beinecke? If so, what page? I looked through Album 5 and either missed it or it wasn't there.

Album 5 page 26.
http://beinecke.library.yale.edu/dl_crosscollex/RMNV_SearchExec.asp
The fact is that the photo appears in little, but then when it appears each photograph in bigger the photo I want doesn't appear.



Do you know any other website from where I can see these albums?
Thank you very much for traying to help me =)
