Cyrillic Script, Anyone?
Cyrillic script is beyond me, but perhaps someone will transliterate
the inscription so we might know who the model was.
An anonymous viewer from Cleveland sent me the following via my message box:
"The photograph was Dmitry Ivanovich Bystrov who had a studio in St. Petersburg, Russia in the early 20th century. He specialized in photos of sportsmen. This photo is of Tuomisto who was Finnish."
Jawohl, Putin :) Kabinettfotos nackter Sportler waren bei der Mittelschicht und den Wohlhabenden des homophilen Milieus von St. Petersburg beliebt. (“)
