New photographs of the last Romanov family (scroll to see them all!)

Some of the photographs were previously only available for viewing in very low resolution - see these photos for before vs after to show the difference!

The photos mostly originate from the meetings of the Romanov family with their Hessian relatives: the Tsarina’s brother Grand Duke Ernst Ludwig, his wife Grand Duchess Eleonore, and their children, Georg Donatus and Ludwig. Photographs include the family on the Standart yacht, in the Livadia Palace dining hall, and at events greeting the public, from around 1910 to 1912.

Finally, in big size: Grand Duchesses Olga, Tatiana, Maria and Anastasia with their brother, baby Tsarevich Alexei, in 1904.

This is one of my favourite OTMAA pictures.

Day 27: Favourite summer-themed photos of royals at Balmoral Castle

This is a series of footage clips containing several members of the British Royal Family including Queen Victoria, Prince Arthur of Connaught and his children, Princess Helena Duchess of Albany and her children, and also Tsar Nicholas II and Tsarina Alexandra Feodorovna. This is sole of the first footage taken of most of these royals (except the Russian couple whose 1894 coronation was filmed) and is a perfect example of how the BRF vacationed at Balmoral (the location of the footage).

Maria to her father Nicholas after receiving news of his abdication

"... I had already learned from Ella that she had learned Tatyana's final monologue secretely from her husband, and the Tsarevich had taken the role of Onegin. They had a small stage set up in the room of Ella's lady in waiting, Kozlyaninova, and they would gather there and rehearse. When everything was ready, they played two scenes from Eugene Onegin in front of Sergei...

... The curtain rose. There was a garden with a bench on the stage; Ella ran out, Nicholas followed her. Both were dressed in costumes from the beginning of this century and very well dressed. The Tsarevich very sweetly and clearly delivered his monologue: "You wrote to me, do not deny it!" Only in his voice was it heard that he was very timid. - Then the stage turned into Tatyana's room. Ella delivered her monologue with a great sense. She had not yet been in Russia for 6 years, and she had already appeared on the stage. Of course, her pronunciation betrayed her, but it was redeemed by the depth of feeling in her acting."
