BRAND NEW photographs of the Grand Duchesses, found in the Darmstardt Archive

Shared by Ilya, @sledstvie on Instagram / LastRomanovs on Flickr, these photos show the Grand Duchesses having fun with their Uncle Ernie whilst on holiday in Livadia. Whilst a few photos from this day were found in the Grand Duchesses' albums (and hence known to the public) these funny photos were hidden away in archives!

A number of previously unknown, rare, and high-quality photographs have been uncovered in the Darmstardt Archives in the recent weeks.

Grand Duke Serge Alexandrovich and the Hessians

The main reason I like this picture is that Ella is smiling in a very different, spontaneous way. Her eyes are involved in the smile. She has not turned into the “ethereal” beauty yet. I don't have a date for the picture. It might be around her engagement to Serge.

In the picture, from left to right: A very young Ernst Ludwig with a pup under each arm, Ella with a little girl in her arms whom I don't know; sitting on the steps in front of Ella, Princess Victoria, standing by Ella, Princess Alix, sitting right in front of Alix, the Grand Duke Ludwig IV, and sitting next to him, Grand Duke Serge.

There are two young women in the photo, one sitting next to Victoria and the other standing behind Sergei, whom I do not know.

Rare photo of Grand Duke Ernst Louis of Hesse and By Rhine with his nieces Grand Duchesses Olga, Tatiana, and Maria Nikolaevna of Russia, Livadia, Crimea 1912

Grand Duke Ernst Ludwig of Hesse and By Rhine and his niece Grand Duchess Olga Nikolaevna

I have read that Ernst Ludwig was full of energy and full of fun and was always coming up with ways to amuse himself and those around him, especially children. He might have been more compatible with Tsarevich Alexei and Grand Duchess Anastasia Nicholaevna. Olga looks somewhat serious here...I am sure she loved the lovable Uncle Ernie as much as everybody else but probably did not have his high-octane energy.
