Portrait of a tiny creature that lived long ago


Portrait of a tiny creature that lived maybe a million years ago ... :-)

I found it on the beach in Aldeburgh, UK, in the late 1980s.

Maxim Gorky and Feodor Chaliapin with friends in 1904




Russian operatic bass singer Feodor Chaliapin (third from the right) talking to writer Maxim Gorky (third from the left) with Skitalets, Andreyev, Chelekov, Chirikov and Bunin

The photograph (here partially coloured by me) was published in the Swedish magazine "Allers Familj-Journal" in 1904.
