I've tried the search feature and gone through many photographs to no avail. If it isn't any trouble,
can anyone help me find or direct me to a specific photo of TN. It is, I beleive, from the series of Tercentenary photos of the enire IF individualy and in groups, all in formal court dress taken in 1913.
I've found one of ON full length, standing and I know one of TN (also full length, standing) exists around here somewhere, but I cannot find it.
I've found a very unusual, quite splendid, antique, carved gilt wood frame that has four oblong insert points along the bottom with two larger oval inserts above and a smaller oval slightly below and between these two. It would be perfect for a grouping of the family's tercentenary photos. I have beautiful formal photos of Nicholas and Alexandra and a charming head shot of Alexei for the the oval inserts. I would like to insert the four Grand Duchesses (in similar full length poses ---if they all exist standing) in the oblong inserts at the bottom.
I have lovely photos of MN and AN,which I could use, but they are not standing, nor are they in full court dress--I haven't seen photos of the younger GD's in similar, full length, standing posesas are their older sisters--only seated in white dresses. If anyone knows of the existence of all four GD's standing in formal court dress and full length--they would be perfect and make the piece quite impressive. I have an artist friend who can render the photos into miniature paintings.
If I can find all the photos and put it together, I'll scan and post the finished framed group. I think it should be quite impressive and very beautiful.
Many thanks in advance for any help or advice that can be offered.
Always,
Alexei,
