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.

Princess Dagmar of Denmark, later Empress of Russia, 1862.

Thirteen-year-old Dagmar's chief attraction was her dark brown, velvety eyes. She was 'a dear little ting with a pretty figure and a very plain face - all excepting her eyes which are very pretty'. Her elfin-like, sparkling face with a wide flashing smile had less regular features than Alix's and, although never a classic beauty, she was slender with the same flair for clothes as her sister. She was also more intelligent and quick-witted, with wider interests.

The girls knew how to fight. Bernhard von Bulow, a childhood playmate of Dagmar and Alexandra and later Chancellor of Germany, recalled their rough treatment. Alexandra was already becoming a beauty but Dagmar, although lively and clever, impressed him as being ' a more vivid personality' and 'desperately hard-headed and obstinate.'

Alexandra Feodorovna with her daughters, 1913.

Another example of "old timey Photoshop." All the other postcard versions of this image are landscape; for some reason this one was published in portrait orientation. That meant they had to draw in the rest of Alix and Maria's skirts as well as the chair. They didn't . . . they didn't do great. The draping on Alix's especially looks very stiff and unnatural, being so straight. You can also see editing above Olga, Tatiana and Anastasia's heads where they had to fill in background that wasn't there.

A ring that belonged to Tsarina Maria Feodorovna.

It was made as a wedding gift in 1866 and she wore the ring till the day she died in 1928.

“Grand Duchess Elizabeth, Ella, was one of the most beautiful women of her time. Her head was in perfect shape, like a statue, and beautiful features. Her complexion was like rose petals…”
