And here's one more, but it's very tiny:


The bottom photo was taken *after* the declaration of war, as the IF boarded their launch to return to Peterhof. If anyone has a larger/better version, PLEASE PM ME!

RealAnastasia.

[grandduchess_42]

oh i know realanastastia!
its so loong... how did she wash it?
well i suppose that during their lastyears, she didn't dress it up as much.

[Olishka~ Pincess]

 Yeah Real Anastasia, Anastasia's hair is so long its past her waist it looks realy pretty and curly.aTatiana's in the background. This photograph was taken in the fall of 1916 she was only 15 years old in the picture.It is a rare photo rarly seen in the public. It came from the girls marvelous photo albums. Olga has a mischevious smile on her face in the picture. The girls realy look like they have gotten older. Anastasia did not realy dress up any special in her later years. I wonder who that woman is and in the left of the last photo that I had posted? That was a good question Emily asked about if Anastasia had washed her hair or not and how? I do not known how they washed their hair back then.

[grandduchess_42]

i'm sure they washed their hair, but in their last few days i don't think they did!

in the last picture with the children
on the left is a guard, you can see the uniform
i think you mean the woman on the right, she migh be an older sister, mother, or neighbor!
who knows!

i only wish alexei and marie was with them. they probably were but no pictures.

[Sarushka]

I wonder who that woman is and in the left of the last photo that I had posted?

I can't see the last photo you posted -- the one in reply #368. Tell me what it looks like and I'll try to ID the woman?

[Missy-T]

The woman on the right is a peasant, the picture is taken at Mogilev, if I'm right. The girls visited peasants there, and took some pictures. There are two more pictures of Olga and Anastasia, in one of them they're helping a boy in a pit, or so. There's also one with Anastasia and a littte boy. If you don't know which pictures I mean, I'll send them, but I guess they're not so rare.
About washing their hair, I thought they did it once a month.

Yes, you're right.
