When Did Queen Mary Have Lady Airlie Inquire In what year did Queen Mary have Lady Airlie inquire about hem lengths?:previous:

It is with the Belgian Royal Collection.

Identity of Sitter I posted this image on Webshots as "1652 Princess Henrietta Mary Stuart, Princess of Orange, by van der Helst (Rijksmuseum)" with this caption: "This image was probably from the Rijksmuseum (Explore 1000 Major Exhibits - Rijksmuseum Amsterdam - National Museum for Art and...

She mourned for her husband Albert who died 14 December 1861.

Role of Alix I agree with the recent posters that another Empress would have made little difference. Russia needed to steadily progress in the 1700s and 1800s, but didn't. Progress came late and in spurts. Progress had little chance between reactionary tsars and aristocrats who, for example...

Red Tops I gather the term "red tops" comes from the flash of red ink at the top of the first page. "Yellow journalism" comes the yellowish hue of the paper the tabloids were printed on in the USA (probably due to using unbleached paper or paper with limited bleaching).

Fate of Infamous Necklace Once the jewels were repolished, identification would have been impossible. You could probably ID a jewel today, maybe from an electron microprobe of metallic impurities or mass spectroscopy of a sacrificial microsample, but back then it would be a case of, "Hmmm, this...

Image of Vicky in Her Wedding Dress Here's another pic of Vicky's wedding:

The image to the left looks like it was made just after she was widowed, so it would be from the 1860s. I have a b&w version of the third hanging on my wall, it dates from shortly after her accession in the late 1830s.:flowers:

CIA Releases I'm not sure if "protections" will be lifted any more based on date and the right of historians and all people to know what really happened. The elites, at least in the USA, understand the power of information and know how to keep it hidden or hide it away once it becomes open...

Maybe, maybe not. She didn't help. But the forces of nationalism and ideology were very potent then. The striking class divisions were also a serious problem. Russia does not seem to want a Romanov restoration nowadays and that's probably why. And besides, doesn't Vladimir make a wonderful...

Correction. Whoa! Sorry for the error. I hope this sets things right! :smile:

That is pretty much the answer - C-O-R-S-E-T-S. I suspect Alexandra was conscious of her figure and physical attractiveness, especially given her husband's proclivities, so she watched her diet too. They had corsets for the larger ladies too: :smile: I read an article by a woman who grew up...

Time Zones I saw it on Telemundo around midnight or in the wee hours of the morning. Fatigue set in and I had to stop watching.

P-3 Orion The P-3 was designated "Orion."

Northrop's Involvement What was Northrop doing? For what product? The F/A-18? I recall Northrop developed a "Cobra" design in the early 70s for The Netherlands. Northrop didn't sell it then, but the design became the F-17 that was built and flown, lost to the F-16 in the US Air...

Most "Watched" "Wedding" The marital perturbations of Charles and Di and Di's later antics made their marriage the most "watched" "marriage" in history even if more people watched the wedding of Letizia and Felipe!;)

What If It would have deeply influenced history if Nicholas had married Margarethe - Romanov had married Hohenzollern! I don't know if World War I would have occurred the way it did (I believe the root causes of nationalism, class conflict, and fundamental ignorance of what technological war...
