These four children would never grow old. The photo, taken around nineteen o six, shows the four daughters of Tsar Nicholas the Second of Russia. After the Russian Revolution in nineteen seventeen, they and their parents and brother were arrested and imprisoned in a house in Yekaterinburg. There, on the seventeenth of July, nineteen eighteen, they were executed on the orders of Lenin.

For many years after their assassination, there were rumors that the youngest daughter, Anastasia, on the right of the photo, had managed to escape. Several women claimed to have been Anastasia. The best known impostor was Anna Anderson, a woman living in Germany, whose claims, though rejected by most surviving members of the Tsar's family, were widely believed. In nineteen seventy-nine, the bodies of the Tsar and his wife and three of their daughters were discovered near Yekaterinburg, which fueled the myth that Anastasia had escaped. However, in July two thousand and seven, an amateur historian discovered bones near Yekaterinburg, belonging to a boy and a young woman. And in April two thousand and eight, DNA tests proved that they belonged to two children of Nicholas the Second, a son and a daughter, Anastasia. As a result, the story of her survival was conclusively disproved.

In this rather touching photo, showing his softer family side, US President John F. Kennedy is greeted by his children, John Junior and Caroline, on his arrival to spend the weekend with them at their summer home in Massachusetts, on the twenty-third of August, nineteen sixty-three. His natural joy at seeing them may well have been intensified on this occasion by the fact that a few weeks previously, his third child, a son named Patrick, had died at just a few days old. Almost exactly three months later, on the twenty-second of November, Kennedy was assassinated in Dallas. His son, John Junior, as so many of this ill-fated family, also died young in a plane crash in nineteen ninety-nine. And Caroline is the only surviving member of the family.

Spanish artist Pablo Picasso is seen here with Françoise Gilot and their son Claude in around nineteen fifty-two. Françoise met Picasso in nineteen forty-three when she was twenty-one, and he was over forty years older. Although they never married, they spent nearly ten years together and had two children, Claude and Paloma. However, Françoise and Picasso's relationship was not a happy one, and in nineteen sixty-four, eleven years after their separation, she wrote a damning description of him in her book called Life with Picasso. Picasso tried to stop its publication, but he failed, and it went on to sell over one million copies in dozens of languages. From then on, Picasso refused to see Claude or Paloma, ever again.

In May, eighteen eighty-three, the thirteen-year-old Mahatma Gandhi was married to fourteen-year-old Kasturbai, following the arranged marriage custom of their region at the time. This photo was taken in nineteen fifteen, when Gandhi was beginning his thirty-two-year struggle for Indian independence, and it is the earliest known photo of Gandhi and his wife. In the first years of their marriage, Gandhi is said to have been a very controlling husband, but writing many years later, he described the feelings he felt for Kasturbai at the time. "Even at school, I used to think of her, and the thought of nightfall and our subsequent meeting was ever haunting me." Despite frequently being apart, their shared beliefs in national independence and education, not to mention a deep emotional attachment, held them together, and their marriage lasted for over sixty years.

The importance of family to the great Russian writer Leo Tolstoy apparently influenced his work, especially his two most famous novels, War and Peace and Anna Karenina. This photo, taken in nineteen o nine, shows him telling a story to two of his grandchildren, Ilya and Sonya. Although his relationship with his children and grandchildren was very close, for most of his marriage, he and his wife Sophia did not get on. She was strongly opposed to many of his views, especially the idea of giving away his private property, and was also jealous of the attention he gave to his many followers. Shortly after this photo was taken, at the age of eighty-two, and after nearly fifty years of marriage, Tolstoy finally made up his mind to separate from her. He left home in the middle of winter, in the dead of night. He took a train south, but when he arrived at Astapovo station a day later, he became ill and died of pneumonia. According to some sources, he had spent the last hours of his life preaching love and non-violence to his fellow passengers on the train.

This photo, taken around eighteen eighty-six, is of scientist Albert Einstein with his sister Maya, as small children. They resembled each other physically and were extremely close, according to Albert, she was his only friend. After Maya's marriage, she and her husband Paul bought a villa in Italy near Florence, and Albert frequently visited her. In nineteen thirty-nine, at the outbreak of World War Two, she was forced to leave Italy because she was Jewish. She sought refuge with her beloved brother in the USA, but she had to leave behind her husband, who could not get a visa. Tragically, in nineteen forty-six, just after the war had ended, she had a stroke and was unable to travel. She never saw her husband again, and Albert cared for her until her death in nineteen fifty-one.
