It was opening of School that one you was posted, Aglaya. As Voeikov's memories says.

In the last picture, Alix looks quite young and very much like one of her daughters.  I can't make up my mind which one.  I keep going form Olga to Tatiana and back.  The eyes are not like Tatiana, so I go with Olga, but then there are other differences.

There is certainly a family resemblance.

I can see a resemblance too Alixz, now that you metion it.
It looks like Olga with Alexandra's nose IMO.

I  also think Alexandra  looks quite young in that photo.  Is it possible that it may have been  touched?

Are there any photos anywhere of Alix smiling so her teeth can be seen? I know it sounds a bit silly, but I have always wondered what her teeth looked like! I just saw Nicholas for the first time yesterday in a photo someone had put up..nothing like I imagined. lol!

Take a look through the three threads that are posted here.

I know that there is one photo where she is coming up the gang plank of a ship and she is smiling.  She has a space between her front upper teeth.

Is everyone sure that the photo has been properly identified as Alexandra?  Is it one of the daughters...probably Olga? I agree with Alixz.

I am sure that is her. It was taken in 1914, and signed as 'Alexandra' in Russian Cyrillic.

Could you point out the Cyrillic signature?  Or is it on the back?

I can't see it, maybe its just my computer.


The photo could have been "touched up".  By 1914 Alix was in her 40s and that picture looks so young and her face looks unlined.  I know that the nose is right.

Last one's not new, I think. Here's the B&W for you - since you're posting a coloured version, I believe you don't have it:
