This unusual postcard showed up in my mail last week from Russia. It is the Grand Duchess Anastasia Nikolaevna. I've had an interest in Russian history and the Romanovs for a while now. It's a bit sad to see such a pretty picture of her knowing what happened to her and her family (unless of course you believe in some of the conspiracy theories out there). Of course it is much more preferable to think of her having survived the assassination of her family and living somewhere afterwards happily, though maybe unlikely. In any case, I am happy to get this postcard of her, taken in 1913.
The stamps include another from the series of Russian headdresses. I'm not sure which stamp series the one on the left is from, but I like the little mail truck (at least that's what it looks like) on it. Mail related stamps--cool.
