According to the book THE ROMANOVS ,  the photo was taken in Summer of 1917.  The authors note under the photo that there are wild flowers and the girls clothes are for summer.

There were other  photos taken with Alexei and Tatiana which were in April of 1917.

I don't think 1916 is correct.

GD Ernst of Hesse's daughter Elisabeth's "best friend":

The pony in the second picture is the Shetland that Queen Victoria gave Elisabeth. I forget his name. It was her "best friend," and she would bring it up the steps and try to get it into the house.  This according to information at the Staatsarchiv.

I don't recognize the pony in the first photo, but she looks older there, so it's possible it was a bigger one for riding.

By all accounts, Elisabeth inherited her love of horses and riding from her mother, who had -- while she lived in Darmstadt -- a large black horse called Bogdan.

One has to ask what makes a photograph rare, that it has not been published in an English language book? With the assistance of Margarita Markova, I am posting below a few OTMA photographs, from Russian language books, that may not have been seen on this forum.

Two dogs. 

1) A collie.
2) Small white dog which looks like a small Spitz.  Or the white dog may be a Scottie???

I am taking liberation and posting something that might not be necessarily on topic for this thread... completely. It's a rare image (to me anyway) but it's of Alexei and not OTMA. It's too bad this wasn't a "Rare Picture" thread.

I was emailed this lovely image of Alexei earlier by Mr. Davies. New to me, and it seems to be in the same time and place as the first picture Mr. Davies sent me.

Enjoy

I m sorry AGRBear but this ist the GD Olga, not Marie.
I think it was one of the palaces cats, they had quite a lot of them. A typical name for them was "Vaska" as it was told in one book about the Romanovs.

[AGRBear]

OOOOooooops.

Sorry.

I was  using  information I was given.

So,  this is Olga.

Thanks for the correction.
