Sorry about not getting back to you that night.
Here is a picture of Nicholas himself

Here is a picture of Nicholas and his brother Alexander (AIII to be)

Here is a family shot taken in 1861. Nicholas is on the far right.

He was so handsome,I almost like him better than his brother Alexander. Such a pity he died so young. :(

I actually have a few pictures of Marie with Nixa,mostly their engagement photos. But there are also some drawings of them. I'll try to most them when I get home.


And does anyone else beside me think that Nixa and GD George Alexanderovich favor in some ways?

Tsarevich Nicholas swearing what I believe was an oath of loyalty to his father and to Russia.

There is a book in Russian on Nicholas Alexandrovich, that was published three years ago, but does not seem to have been mentioned here: Tatiana Verbitskaya: The Emperor who was not to be. Grand duke Nicholas Alexandrovich (1843-1865) (Вербицкая Татьяна. Несостоявщийся император. Великий князь Николай Александрович (1843 -1865). М: Изд. Центрополиграф, 2010 350(2)c)

Also, Dutch scholar in Russian poetry, Kees Verheul wrote an astonishing book called Villa Bermond (in Dutch 1992, in Russian 2000), in which historical and autobiographic themes are intertwined. Villa Bermond, of course, is the mansion where Nicholas Alexandrovich died.....

The main theme of Kees Verheul's book (first in a series of four. The second Stormsonate, Соната "Буря" in Dutch 2006, in Russian 2010) is the story of the family Tyutchev, its main character is the famous poet Fedor Tyutchev.

This photo is new to me.

rudy3, I have heard of Tatiana Verbitskaya's book about the tsarevich, but I have never read it; have you?

Dru.
No, I have not read it yet, it is "in line", waiting to be read, as soon as I have finished some other books first....

But maybe someone else here has read it?

Svetabel, have you read it? I saw the book in several bookstores last week when I was in St. P., so most likely a new edition was printed.

I looked through it as didn't have an intention to buy the edition. Good research in the whole.
