EDITORS COMMENTS
Count Leo Tolstoy: A Literary Giant of 19th Century Russia (1880-1886, Sass) This half-length portrait depicts Count Leo Tolstoy (1828-1910), a renowned Russian novelist and philosopher, between the years 1880 and 1886. The image, created by the photographer Sass, captures Tolstoy's thoughtful expression and wise countenance as he faces right, inviting the viewer into a deep connection with his soul. The photograph, reminiscent of the 19th century, is an oval-shaped cabinet card, a popular format during that era. The image is framed by ornate lettering that identifies the subject as "Count Leo Tolstoy" and the title "Novelist." The photograph is part of the rich cultural heritage of the Library of Congress, located in Washington D.C., and is a testament to the meeting of frontiers between Russia and the United States. Tolstoy, born Lev Nikolayevich Tolstoy, was a prolific writer who produced some of the greatest works of Russian literature, including "War and Peace" and "Anna Karenina." This portrait, taken during his later years, offers a glimpse into the life of a man whose profound impact on literature and philosophy continues to resonate with readers around the world. The photograph is a still image, frozen in time, yet it speaks volumes about the legacy of this literary giant. Tolstoy's enduring influence on literature, art, and culture is a reminder of the power of the written word to bridge the gaps between countries, generations, and ideas. This portrait is not only a historical artifact but also a testament to the enduring appeal of the human spirit and the power of the written word.
