EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a poignant moment in history, showcasing Fritz Platten (1883-1942) with his son Georg in 1910. The image, part of a private collection, offers a glimpse into the life of this influential figure during a time of great political upheaval. Fritz Platten's significance lies in his involvement in the Russian Revolution and his close association with Vladimir Lenin. As an ardent supporter of revolutionary ideals, he played a crucial role in facilitating Lenin's return to Russia from exile in 1917. This photograph serves as a testament to their deep bond and shared commitment to radical change. The backdrop of this portrait is equally significant. Taken during Platten's travels through Germany on his way back to Switzerland from Zurich, it symbolizes the turbulent times that were about to unfold. The April Theses and February Revolution were stirring up unrest across Russia, setting the stage for the October Revolution that would reshape the course of history. Through fine art photography, this image immortalizes not only Fritz Platten but also an era defined by revolution and transformation. It invites us to reflect on the power of individuals like him who dedicated their lives to fighting for social justice and equality. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from our past, let us remember those who paved the way for change and honor their enduring legacy.
