The last photo of Maria is very stylish.  I am always amused with these ladies of the 1930-1950s years who even being photographed held a sigarette!!!

Maria in Los Angelos, Ca in 1932.

For some reason a lot of her pictures are popping up on Ebay.

Many of her photos have been up for sale for awhile. I've bought some in the past--the ones that aren't too expensive. Some of the ones up there are duplicates (though originals) of some of those press photos. I like to get them (when they aren't as expensive as the Kira ones) because they're larger than most postcards and give you an original photo.

I've never purchased any postcards or photos because I always think they are just copies that people print from their home computers. However, I must admit there have been several pictures appear which I had never seen before and which I wished I would have purchased because they appeared to be one of a kind...Ebay is rich with rare finds. Along with pictures I also found several books which also appeared to be rare at least here in the US about Grand Duke Sergei and the Youssoupovs, however they were so expensive!!! It was a real shame too because they really seemed to contain a lot of information.

Sorry I went off topic here.

[grandduchessella]

There's at least one in Russian and there are her 2 autobiographies.

No. The picture showed her with her husband, Prince Wilhelm of Sweden. It was made in 1908 when she arrived in Stockholm.
