EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "Petr Kropotkin, Anarchist Philosopher and Geographer: A Head-and-Shoulders Portrait, circa 1890-1920" 2. Description: This black-and-white portrait showcases the enigmatic figure of Petr Kropotkin (1842-1921), a renowned Russian anarchist philosopher, geographer, and author. The image captures Kropotkin's thoughtful expression, as he faces right, with his penetrating gaze and distinctive beard. The photograph, likely taken between 1890 and 1920, offers a glimpse into the intellectual depth and charisma of this influential figure. 3. Historical Context: Petr Kropotkin was a prince by birth, but he renounced his aristocratic title and dedicated his life to the study of anarchism, communism, and geography. He is best known for his influential works, such as "Mutual Aid: A Factor of Evolution" and "The Conquest of Bread," which challenged the dominant political and social structures of his time. Kropotkin's ideas influenced various political movements, including anarchism, communism, and the labor movement. 4. Provenance: This portrait is part of the extensive collection at the Library of Congress, Washington D.C. The image is most likely a photogravure, a printing process that creates a high-quality, tonally rich image from a photograph. The autograph or signature of Kropotkin is not visible in the photograph, but the presence of his handwriting on the reverse of the print suggests that it may have been a personal copy or a gift. 5. Significance: This portrait of Petr Kropotkin offers a unique window into the life and legacy of a man who defied societal expectations and made significant contributions to various fields, including anarchism, communism, and geography. The image serves as a testament to the enduring power of intellectual curiosity and the transformative potential of ideas.
