EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "A Triumvirate of Russian Nobility: The Early Childhood of Countess Anastasia Mikhailovna of Torby, Nadejda Mikhailovna Mountbatten, and Zoia de Stockl" 2.. This evocative photograph captures a moment in the lives of three young Russian nobles, Countess Anastasia Mikhailovna of Torby, Nadejda Mikhailovna Mountbatten, and Zoia de Stockl, in the late 1890s. The image showcases the elegant attire and youthful innocence of the girls, as they pose together, their faces filled with curiosity and delight. 3. In the center stands Anastasia Mikhailovna, elder daughter of Grand Duke Michael Mikhailovich of Russia. She would later marry Count Wernher von der Schulenburg-Torby and become known as Lady Zia Wernher. Anastasia's sister, Nadejda Mikhailovna, is depicted on the left. She would later marry Louis Mountbatten, 1st Earl Mountbatten of Burma, and become the Marchioness of Milford Haven. 4. On the right, we find Zoia de Stockl, the daughter of Baron de Stockl, who served as the Russian Ambassador to the United States and previously as equerry to Grand Duke Michael. Zoia was a maid of honor to the last Russian Empress, Alexandra Feodorovna, wife of Tsar Nicholas II. 5. The girls' hats and bonnets, adorned with ribbons and flowers, reflect the fashionable trends of the late 19th century. The photograph offers a glimpse into the privileged and elegant upbringing of these young Russian nobles, whose lives would later be marked by significant historical events. 6. The image is a poignant reminder of the rich history and tradition of the Russian aristocracy, as well as the interconnectedness of European royal families during this period. The photograph, taken in 1899, captures a moment of innocence and joy that transcends time and offers a glimpse into the lives of these remarkable women.
