I've seen a very rare picture of Anastasia yesterday. It's a picture from the famous story in Tobolsk. With the play, when she's dressed like a man. Someone know which one I mean?

Really? Can you post it? That would have been taken on 4/17 February, during their performance of Packing Up, by Harry Grattan. I would love to see it!

This is the only photo I recall seeing of one of the Imperial Family's plays:

It was taken in August of 1912, in Livadia.

Here it is Sarushka!
Anastasia Tobolsk
To my opinion she doesn't really look like the Anastasia we know from the pictures.. Maybe a little when she was around 12 years old. But I absolutely like the picture! It must be one of her last pictures..

*jaw drops* That's got to be the most amazing Romanov photo I have ever seen. You're right, it doesn't even look like Anastasia. I never would have known it was her!

Thanks for posting that, Tessel. What book does it come from?

I hate to be a spoil-sport, but it's really hard for me to believe this is Anastasia. I know it's blurry, but this looks much more like a 10-12 year-old boy than a teenaged girl to me. She would have been 16 years old at the time, and although she was the shortest of the Grand Duchesses, I would expect her to be much taller in relation to that railing. (I'm just 5'3", and most railings are well below waist-level on me.) I've looked at my photos of the governor's mansion, and I can't see a railing like the one in the photo -- there's no railing at all on the front porch, and only a very low one on the upper balcony. It also seems strange that she'd pose outdoors in her costume. I'm puzzled, though, because Anastasia's signature is visible in the lower right corner of the photo. Can you translate the caption below the photo for us, Tessel?

Is that really Anatsasia's signature?
I mean it sais Anastasia, but did she write it?
To me it looks like a mixture of Latin and Cyrillic Letters :P
