OTMAA's Formal Photos

do you know if there is any others of that session?

It would be cool if there were, but I don't think there are.

I know of one, but I saw it a long time ago and I have no idea where.  It was horrible quality.  Anastasia was on the far left, sort of half sitting half standing.  The other three are in the middle in a triangle formation.  I think they are sitting.  If anyone has any idea of the photo I'm talking about, please post it!

I think that one was taken in 1917, since Anastasia's hair is up.

According to Lanie, it was taken in the spring of 1917, during the girls' recovery from measles. Their hair wasn't shaved until early summer -- June, maybe -- of that year.

I've never really understood why the hair was shaved? I know it can be good for hair regrowth but still....

No, Anastasia has her hair down.  I'm pretty sure it's from the same session.  If someone wants me to, I could e-mail it to them so they could post it.  I don't have any photo accounts.

Here it is!

There's also a beautiful postcard of Tatiana from 1916, which may be from that same session. I haven't seen postcards of the other three though from that time, though if ones of Tatiana were made, no doubt O, M and A had theirs done too...

The measles was causing their hair to come out little by little, so they shaved it. I guess to get rid of the hassle of having loose hair everywhere.  :-/

Wow! I've never seen that pic before, Sarushka.

aw that is it! thanks!

Is it one of these, Georgiy?

[Georgiy]

The one on the right was the one I was thinking of, but I think the left-hand one is from the same occasion.

I love the recent photos that have been posted great formal ones, from later on. I really appreciate the people who post formal photos.
