Pauline Gansovna Nikitina (1887-1918)

Pauline Gansovna Nikitina, maiden name Pikkel.

The photo belongs to the family papers of her great granddaughter. She wrote to me:
"My great grandmother got married in 1907. It means that the photo was made later. [Because of the ring on her finger]. She worked in a photographic studio of Julius Steinberg in St.-Petersburg on Nevski Prospect. My great grandfather worked there too. When they got married they rent a house in Terrioki (it was Finland then) and there they made there own photographic studio. As I learned they also had a photographic studio in Kuokkala. I don't know where this photo was made." Please visit her own Blog:
