This is how we dressed in 1902.

Here's one of the last photos of Nina that I have to post. She was twenty-seven years old when she stood for this shot. Her eldest child, my paternal Grandmother Tatjana, was then five years old.

I wonder what Nina thought as she stood there, waiting for the photographer to work his magic.

Tambov, Russia, 1902. My paternal Grandmother's mother, Nina K., poses for a formal portrait. Tatjana wrote on the back of this photo—in Russian and in Lithuanian—"My most sweet mother Nina, photo taken in the year 1902 in the city of Tambov."
