I have found this one labelled as Maria Alexandrovna, wife of Alexander II. - which is obviously not true. It does look to me like his daughter thoug... What do you think?



Of course this is GDss Maria Alexandrovna, Alexander II's daughter.

I thought so, but after making some mistakes in identifying people in pictures I thought it would be better to ask... Thank you.

Would anyone happen to have the image on the left bigger and clearer?

I´m sorry, Ally. I made a research through all my folders, but I don´t have this picture you´re searching for. A lovely picture, by the way; it would be nice to have it...

Thank you! Do you think you could PM me the unmarked version? I can assure you I´m not posting it anywhere without your watermark.....

Sure. I just e-mailed it to you.

I like how Alfred has a little foot-kick in the photo. I guess he was resting his one knee on a stool or something but it's cute. If these were taken for their engagement--and I think they were--hadn't he twisted his knee or ankle or something? Does anyone remember this or am I halluctinating?

I love these pics and drawings. 

Marie fascinates me as does Alfred.  Their children not so much though.  I just recently became interested in Victoria, Albert and their brood.  Special favorites are Alice and Vicky. 

Sorry, off topic.  Back to Marie.

The photo is from the engagement set of pictures, and if I remember correctly something was wrong with Alfred's knee.
