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.
