Maria's Baby Photos
« on: January 15, 2006, 02:37:37 PM »
Heya Everyone
I was just wondering if anyone had any photos of Maria Nikolaevna Romanov, just after her birth. All I can seem to find are ones from 1900 onwards, and she seems to be the only one of OTMAA that didn't have photos taken of her when she was a newborn.
Can anoyone help?

Thanks,
Sarastasia xxx

Here are some pics that I think were taken at Maria's christing:

Okay...well...I try it too, and I can't even see my own post. I should have tried before.

So here is the full link for the original page. The photo I'm talking about is on the third row, first from left. It shows Alexandra, Olga and baby Maria. Some says it's Tatiana, but I'm sure the baby is Maria. Hope this works this time.

You're welcome! A few more, maybe? I'm under the impression that some of us could never get too much... ;D

Another one from Nastya's christenning


Tatiana and Maria, about 1900


Baby Maria (I'm not sure, thought...)


Anastasia and Maria


There. That's all for now, I've got a train to catch. Bye!

Okay I'm confused....
Sophia_Skymid: this photo you posted
http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f21/Sophia144/Small%20kids%201/23_1.jpg
The girl in the middle is credited in my book as Anastasia in 1904... I have four photos from the same time:
Olga is in a black coat and hat
Tatiana is in a grey coat and hat
Maria is in a white coat (with fur?) and hat
Anastasia is in a squared thingy and hat
And the two babies (one in my book as A and one on your photo as M) look identical!
But for your photo to be from 1904, Olga and Tatiana are in the wrong clothes and look younger than in my photos...
But Anastasia/Maria is even holding the little metal thing in her hands

Which is correct? It seems that something is up... :o
I'll see if I can find my photos online

It looks liek my photos are from the same time as this one, accept Tatiana's coat is too dark. This one looks as though it was taken in 1901, with Olga and Maria in the same outfits...

I've just realised that Anastasia is too young in my photo to be 3 years old (in 1904). But the other three seem to be about the right age for it to be taken in 1904... In actual fact, it appears that Anastasia is wearing a different dress...
Perhaps in my book the photos of OTM are right and in 1904, but the photo of "Anastasia" is really Maria in 1899/1900 are Anastasia in 1901...
It's a mystery...

Hi!

The baby has been labeled as Anastasia?! That's weird! I'm sure it's a mistake. I think they were different photoshoots took at the same place over the years. (Where is it, by the way?)

Obviously, these are from the same photoshooting. There's also a pic of Tatiana, but I don't have it. Olga and Tatiana look pretty young. So I always thought the baby was Maria. If you compare well-known pictures of the Little Pair, you'll see their faces were quite different even as babies. I think those photos were shot in 1899-1900.







Look closely at this one. Names have been written under each girl in our handwritting, from left to right: Olga, Maria, Tatiana. And the legend under the photo lists the girls as the three oldest, too. (I suspect it was a postcard.) The date says 1903. It could make sense, but I'd go for earlier years, given the fact that Maria is dressed as a baby.


Then come these, photos from a while later. Maria looks slightly older, doesn't she? I'd say it's from 1901.









Finally, I've also found this shot. Not the same coats, so not the same day. And Anastasia can walk here, so it has to be at least in 1902. Here fits the one with Tatiana in her pale coat, standing in front of a tree. Which palace can be seen behind the girls in the second one?







I hope it'll help. Maybe I'm wrong for the dates, but I'm absolutely sure about who's who.

In my book it has this photo: http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f21/Sophia144/Small%20kids%201/86bfeea7.jpg credited as Anastasia in 1904! WHich is obviously wrong...
It shows it along with:
http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f21/Sophia144/Small%20kids%201/20.jpg as Olga in 1904
http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f21/Sophia144/Small%20kids%201/5f454496.jpg as Maria in 1904
and one of Tatiana in 1904 in a grey coat.
Thank you for clearing it up for me, my book is obviously wrong (it once credited a photo of Olga and Tatiana as Maria and Tatiana in 1910!) They've probably got two different shootings mixed up!!!

Yes, the one labeled as Anastasia is most definitely baby Maria. I believe the photoshoot taken with all 4 girls, however, took place in 1902 or 1903.

It did cross my mind that "Anastasia in 1904" as the photo was labelled shoed "Anastasia" as too young to be a 3-year-old!
They were taken in the grounds of Tsarskoye Selo, weren't they? - or am I going mad?
