This is an original 1918 black and white halftone print of Ivan Kalyayev at the tender age of 18. He later joined the Fighting Organization of the Socialist Revolutionist Party and participated in the assassination of Grand Duke Sergei Alexandrovich of Russia. Unsurprisingly, he was captured shortly after and sentenced to hang.
