    Maxim Gorky (Alexei Maximovich Peshkov, 1868-1936)
    Gorky in America. 1906
    Photograph signed ('M. Gorky'), n.p. [Philadelphia], n.d. [1906]

    The image by Elias Goldensky, Philadelphia, 158 x 113mm, mount 319 x 248mm. Signed in Russian on the mount.

    Gorky in America. Gorky visited the United States from 10 April to 13 October: the visit was overshadowed by press scandal about the nature of his relationship with Maria Andreyeva, and Gorky's written impressions of American society were scathing. Elias Goldensky (1867-1943) was a well-known portraitist.
