Looking for help with Picture(s) and/or Captions
Kalafrana:
The bottom one was presumably taken in Germany, since it is captioned in German. That, and the photo of Nicholas, were certainly taken outside Russia, since they are in civilian clothes (as Russian officers, they always wore uniform in Russia). I would hazard a guess that all the pictures were taken on a visit to Darmstadt.
The caption on the bottom picture could give the date as 1895, but it isn't complete. It might be 1896, 1898 or 1903, but not 1905, since Sergei was killed on 17 February 1905.

The bottom one says Grand Duke Serge of Russia (in German) anf gives his death date, so it's not when or where it was taken.
But I think you are right that they were taken outside Russia most probably in early 1900s. I know there are several versions of the picture of the Hessian sisters.
Could they have been taken in Darmstadt during the wedding of Princess Alice of Battenberg and Prince Andrew of Greece? I'm just thinking when all four sisters, Nicholas and GD Sergei were abroad together.
Kalafrana:
That sounds entirely possible.

1903 year, the time of Prince Andrei of Greece wedding. Darmstadt

Thank You, that's what I thought!
