1828 Grand Children Nikolayevich Tolstoy Aisa
EDITORS COMMENTS
Leo Tolstoy, one of the greatest literary figures in Russian history, is captured in this intimate photograph taken in 1909, as he sits amongst his beloved grandchildren. The image offers a rare glimpse into the personal life of the renowned author, known for his profound works of fiction and philosophy. Tolstoy, born on September 9, 1828, in Tula Province, Russia, was a prolific writer who produced masterpieces such as "War and Peace" and "Anna Karenina." His works, which explored the complexities of human nature and the human condition, continue to captivate readers around the world. In this photograph, Tolstoy, then in his late eighties, is seen surrounded by the joy and energy of his grandchildren. The image is a poignant reminder of the enduring love and connection between generations. The setting, with Tolstoy seated in a comfortable chair and the children gathered around him, suggests a sense of warmth and contentment. The photograph, taken in 1909, was likely one of the last images taken of Tolstoy with his grandchildren, as he passed away in 1910. The photograph is a historical treasure, offering a glimpse into the personal life of a literary giant and providing a poignant reminder of the enduring bonds of family. The image, which is part of the extensive collection of historical photographs available at Mary Evans Prints Online, is a testament to the power of photography to capture and preserve moments in history.
