The Extraordinary Story of the Masterpieces that Outlived an Empire, also believes more will resurface. He made 15 more for other wealthy clients and 14 of those survive. Each had to contain a surprise — a piece of jewellery, clock or tiny portrait — and the shells became ever more elaborate.
The Tercentenary Egg, made in to mark years of Romanov rule, featured gold, silver, diamonds, turquoise and ivory. So, when harvests failed and hunger gripped the vast empire at the start of the 20th century, the eggs became symbols of an out-of-touch dynasty ripe for toppling.

In Nicholas II was forced to abdicate and was exiled to Siberia with Alexandra and their five children. They were run through with bayonets instead. Three are owned by the Queen. Toby Faber thinks one, the Royal Danish egg, could be in Copenhagen. Nicholas sent it to his mother at Easter while she was in Denmark.

Letters of Grand Duchess Anastasia - Blog & Alexander Palace Time Machine
Anastasia and the Dickens Bridge by Fergus Wilson. Shelve Anastasia and the Dickens Bridge. In the mornings before breakfast I usually lie in bed and write or Sasha reads aloud to me. I have breakfast in the playing-room and after that I lie in bed there. Mother comes before tea-time and stays up to 6 p. Aleksey was in a very bellicose mood and did a lot of funny things Yesterday the three of us, "the little ones" so to say, went to Anya's hospital and there was a concert there.
It was very nice there.
A small year old girl danced a Russian folk dance to concertina's accompaniment. She looked so sweet. I felt a sort of pity for her. De La Zari was there as usual as well as Yu. Morfecy, Sasha Makarov and your friend Lersky.
He told such a funny story about a drawing lesson that all tha soldiers cried of laughter. Then he told them a funny story about playing the piano in three different rooms on different floors and how it all sounded for someone who listened. It was also very funny and finally he told them about the Zoo Olga and Tatiana were in their hospital at that time and also saw a concert there. The Ferzens, the Bezobrazovs, some young ladies and a lot of other people were playing the balalaikas there Maria asked me to tell you that the Tower was very good and that Sidor was very funny when he gave it orders where and how it was to function.
Fyodorov did not forget his duty either and gave orders to everyone Aleksey rarely comes to the Tower. We walked a lot there yesterday. They carried lumps of ice up the Tower. One lump was as big as Aleksey and very broad so they could hardly carry it up the ladder. They slipped and fell down. Fyodorov shouted loudly and gave commands standing on top but fortunately they didn't break the lump Maria and I are playing musical instruments together now.
She is playing the piano and I am playing the balalaika. It sounds good but it's better when we play with Olga We don't have classes this week but Alexey does have them because he is naughty when he has nothing to do May 27, , pp.

Maria and I have just been lying on the grass in front of the balcony Yesterday the four of us made a fire and jumped over it. July 3, , p.

Today they will show films to the wounded in the Manege. I am very happy as we all go and Mother, too Maria and I rock in the hammock sometimes and she overturns me each time and I fall down right on my face There'll be christening of Loman's grandson at 2 p. We've just had tea and now I am writing to you. I'll have a class soon and shall finish the letter there In the evenings Olga and Maria and I sometimes ride our bicycles about the rooms at full speed.

Olga tries to catch me up or vice versa. We fall down some- times but are still alive. The lessons are over and I am going to have breakfast she is using a German word for "breakfast" written in Russian with Mother and sisters though I don't know if they have come back. Yesterday we were at the concert in the Grand Palace. They celebrated the second anniversary of their hospital. It was rather nice there. Your friend Lersky was there. Mother saw him for the first time and liked him
