Very interesting snapshots of the Russian Imperial family before the Revolution. Nice to see some informal photos of them and the technology of the age.

The first photograph of Anastasia, she's not a vampire, even though it may look as if she is. There's some advertisements in between the photographs, so keep scrolling down to see all of them.

Cheers everyone :)

A great collection of photos. I am not sure if it's just remembering the history about what happened to them when I look at the pictures but the pictures seem to have sense of sadness to them.

PS: I have to add I had just finished my horror movie night by watching World War Z and when I first clicked on your link, that first picture sorta scared me with its zombie vibe.

Yes I agree, knowing their ultimate future does make the photos sad in many ways, but at least they knew some joy while they lived.

And I know what you mean, that first photo made me jump back a bit, those teeth! She must have been a very funny young lady.

I thoroughly enjoyed looking through these ... and must admit that when I came to the 10th one, for an instant I really felt like their location was the beach area on Rocca Sorrentina!! Grazie for the posting ~
