Mayakovsky photos (cont.)

[Prof Steven P Hill]

Dear colleagues and C. Doak:

"Ardis" press in Ann Arbor (Michigan) used to publish many books
 about Russian writers, books accompanied by rare, original photos 
which the pubishers (Ellendea and the late Carl Proffer) had obtained 
from Russian sources.  But did Ardis ever publish such a book with 
early credited photos about Mayakovsky (V V Maiakovskii)?

There was also a book with a curious title ("I Love," by Spencer and 
Ann Charters) about Mayakovsky and Lili Brik, which might conceivably 
have contained early credited photos of Mayakovsky.

Last, I recall that a Scandinavian researcher, Bengt Jangfeld (who I 
think is still living and uses E-Mail?) published a couple of books  
about Mayakovsky and L. Brik.    That's another source you could 
consult...

Good hunting,
Steven P Hill,

Subject: Early photographs of Mayakovsky 

Dear all,
I am doing some research on poetic self-creation and Mayakovsky.  The
existing literature has a lot of reference to the later Mayakovsky
photographs taken by Aleksandr Rodchenko, but much less on the early
photographs (where he is depicted with the romantic forelock).  Does
anyone has information on who the photographer of these pictures was
or any leads on where to look for this information?

Many thanks,
