photos of Russian empire

[Alexei Bogdanov]

Andreev's photos were published in "Photographs by a Russian
Writer" by Richard Davies and Olga Andreyev Carlisle (Andreev's
granddaughter), New York: Thames & Hudson, 1989.  It also came
out in other languages.  It is a fascinating book!

> Andreev of his family and friends from about 1890 on

To be exact, the pictures were taken after 1908 when Andreev built his
new house in Finland.  Some of the originals now reside in the Hoover
Institution tower at Stanford, but most of them (part of a large Andreev
achive) are at the Brotherton Library in Leeds, England, under Richard
Davies' supervision.
