Alix was 6, from what I have read.

I love this one of Alix riding a horse:

This one was taken in 1913, in regiment dresses.

Same day, I guess:


In 1899:



Thanks many, Ally, you are fantastic with posting! Welcome.

My first ever young picture of Alix

Where was this taken?

In England (presumably London or Isle of Wight) 1894 - just after the engagement

Our Thomas_Hesse is fantastic for Alexandra's photo identifying.  ;)

Same day, right?:



There is one more, her eyes are half-opened. I can't find it at the moment.


What about this one, what year? Thanks.

First one is indeed from the same 1894 (may) sitting; the other photo was taken in 1898

Know what I would like to see more of?  I would love to see more images that portray Nicky and Alix in loving poses.  I understand the technology and etiquette of the time didn't really allow for it...but there is that photo of him kissing her on the stairs, with Sandro and Xenia on the other side and Olga in the middle.  They loved each other so much...the romantic, sappy side of me would like to see more photographic evidence of that.  But I suppose that doesn't exist.

Oh yes... If I´m not mistaken Alix was pregnant with Maria in this one...

That fact is very well-disguised!  Must be the style of the dress - I see a lot of frills and flounce.  Besides the fact that she is sitting with her hands in front of her.

But you can see her abdomen part puffs a little (if you observe well). Smiley!
I agree with you, historyfan.

Amazing colored fotos  by the most wonderful Yelena Aleksandrovna. Endless thank you very much!
