I love this picture

I've read that the collar Joy wore was made by Faberge, as well as other collars for various pets. Can anybody tell me if this is true or post a few pictures of a "Faberge Collar" ?

It is true. Bob has seen one of the Faberbe dog collars.  I have never seen a photograph of them, as they are in private collections as far as I can tell.

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.

Just read my last entry.  My goodness,  the words are scrabbled.  Wonder how that occurred.

Next entry is about Alexander II found in Katharine MacDonogh's REIGNING CATS AND DOGS p. 53:

>>Princess Felix Salm-Salm recalled being joined by Alexander II as she walked on the promenade at Ems in Germany in 1870: 'after half an hour, which passed in a very pleasant and interesting conversation, His Majesty left, quite alone and unattended as he had come, except by a large mastiff, which followed him everywhere like his shadow.'  The dog died in 1881 when a bomb was thrown into the royal carriage.<<

Anyone know the dog's name?  Anyone know of a photograph?

Thanks.

i've always liked this photo of alexander

Found under "Rulers Prior to Nich. II" and thread titled "Alex. II and Princess Dolgorukya"

This dog is not a mastiff.  Almost looks  a large setter with white markings.

The interiors of the Palace were lost after 1917 but thanks to contemporaries of Grand Duke and  wonderful book “Pershinskaya ohota” (“Pershino’s Riding to hounds”) by D.Valtsov we can learn something about them and see some pictures. All the walls in the palace were covered with the pictures, photos, engravings, prints of the dogs and a lot of hunter’s stuff (antlers, horns, stuffed animals and so on), such as here:



This is Dining Room in the Palace

And this is a staircase in the entrance hall

My friend was kind enough to translate several Maria´s letters from Tobolsk to English. Here´s the first one:

Maria Nikolaevna to Z. S.Tolstoy

"We have a quite life. We take walks twice a day, as usual. Now it's fine weather, though these days it's been very cold. It's still warm at your place? I'm envious that you see beautiful sea.
Today at 8 in the morning we had breakfast.
I'm so happy that they let us go to church. Certainly, it can't be compared to our church but it's much better then sitting at home.
At the moment we all are in the room. My sisters are writing too, and the dogs are running around and jumping at our knees.
I often recall Tsarskoe selo and jolly concerts in army hospitals. Do you remember how funny it was when wounded men danced?
I also recall our walks in Pavlevsk, your small crew, morning walks.
I feel like all this hasn't happened a long time ago, has it?
But now I have to stop writing.
I wish you all the best, to your family and Dalya.
Many kisses.
Greetings from my heart.
Maria
