Photo of Olga reading a book....

[gorgeousbutterfly]

I have seen a photo a while back of Olga sitting/lying down on a bed , reading a book.,  I think one of the sisters was next to her ( i think Anastasia ). Does anybody know what photo i'm talking about?

By the way, i have been going on this board for years, i just have not posted here much for whatever reason. I think i might of introduced myeslf, but i'm sure you all forgot since it was years ago. I think i'm going to post from now.

I think Olga is reading a political book something about the news.

i have no idea what she is reading... maybe a book from her child hood.
Like Elizabeth said, a political book.

who knows!
why would you say political?
i could be fiction?

Aloha all!

Here is one of my favorite pics of GD Olga -- reading a book!



Some of the IF photographs are so well composed -- I'm always amazed!

I say political because she has a serious look on her face and Anastasia is just checking out and wandering what Olga is reading... Sisters like to do that especialy little sisters they always ask questions and wonder. That picture of Olga reading at the beach you know it looks like she is reading something interesting or enjoyable. I like reading but writting and literature is my favorite. I hate math I always do horrible in math but I love language arts, social studies and science but Not MATH.

I never noticed there were so many pictures of them reading. OTMA were quite the bookworms.

I think that the one who used to read the most was Olga. There is several photos of her reading, as you posted here...Sometimes Tatiana, María and Anastasia appears reading too, but usually is Olga the one who holds the book...Do you know some other pic where you may see Tatiana, Maria or Anastasia reading, but being alone? I'm curious, for I don't remember to have seen any...But I could be wrong.

I hate to go busting people's bubbles, but I think that's *highly* unlikely. The children were not politically savvy.

Hey! in the first photo of her reading a book, doesn't it look like this? with maybe she pasted her name on the front and back ?http://cgi.ebay.com/19c-The-Princess-and-the-Goblin-1st-Edition-1872_W0QQitemZ190114880587QQihZ009QQcategoryZ29223QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem#ebayphotohosting

I don't think so. In my larger version of the photo, you can see that the book Olga is reading has a border all around the edges of the cover, and does not have a marbled finish. The rectangular mark on the back cover is also repeated on the front -- it's part of the cover itself, not a label. (The children each had unique bookplates with their initials on them that were pasted inside the front cover of their books, so there was no need to put labels on the cover.) It really doesn't match the eBay book at all, though Olga did have a copy of The Princess and the Goblin, which her aunt Irene gave her in 1903. 

BTW, many of the imperial family's books were specially rebound in leather, so it may not be possible to ID them by comparing them to the original editions.

I don't think the professional pictures of them holding books really counts as reading.

I don't recall any of Tatiana, Maria and Anastasia reading alone, but they may exist.
