Mayakovsky photos (cont.)

[Charlotte Douglas]

There is a well-known series of photos from 1910-11, where Mayakovsky 
is wearing a large floppy bow tie, and holding - sometimes smoking - 
a cigarette.  A wide-brimmed hat is either off or on, sometimes there 
is a cape, the hair (apparently deliberately) mussed up.  One of the 
photos is always credited to Bergman.  They seem to be studio photos, 
perhaps done at the Moscow School.  You will find various iterations 
in:

L. F. Voklkov-Lannit, Vizhu Maiakovskogo (M., 1981)
Wiktor Woroszylsk, The Life of Mayakovsky (NY, 1971)
V. Katanian, Maiakovskii: khronika zhizhi i deiatel'nosti (M, 1985)
V.V. Maiakovskii, photoal'bom (M, 1984)

and many more.
