    Keystone image. Portrait photograph of Tolstoy at Yasnaya Polyana, 1905
    (one year after writing Bethink Yourselves!). Credited to Lyuboshets.
    Category:Leo_Tolstoy_in_1905 on Commons. The essay was drafted and
    published in 1904; this photo is the closest confirmed Yasnaya Polyana
    image bracketing that year on Commons. A dedicated 1904 Commons category
    exists but was empty at query time — fuller Chertkov album digitisations
    (held at RGALI / State Museum of Tolstoy, Moscow) may yield a dated 1904
    photograph, but those are not openly downloadable.

    8-bit PNG export of the flatbed scan of the original physical copy. The

    second 8-bit PNG of the same scan — the file copied here is the
    production-ready 8-bit version. Provenance: Johan Edlund's own

  note: >
    Portrait of Chertkov dated 1883 — about 20 years before Bethink Yourselves!
    was published, but the only clearly identified solo Chertkov portrait on
    Commons. He organised and oversaw publication of the essay through Free Age
    Press (England) and personally translated or supervised translation into
    several languages. A period-matched 1904 photo of Chertkov is not openly
    available on Commons; the Chertkov archive is held at RGALI (fond 552) and
    the British Library (Add MS 63711–63793) — reproduction requests would be
    needed for a period image.

    The Petropavlovsk struck a Japanese mine and sank off Port Arthur on
    13 April 1904 (NS) with ~600 dead, including Admiral Makarov. This event
    is directly addressed in section XI of Bethink Yourselves! ("it was
    announced that the Petropavlovsk had sunk"). Photo shows the ship before
    the disaster. Commons also holds several artist's renderings of the
    explosion (Petropavlovsk_destruction_1904.jpeg, Destruction_battleship_Petropavlovsk.jpg)
    if an action illustration is preferred over the ship portrait.

    Official portrait photograph of Vice-Admiral Makarov in uniform. He died
    when the Petropavlovsk sank on 13 April 1904 — the death Tolstoy
    references in section XI of the essay. Commons tags the image date as
    1904-04-13 (date of death), suggesting this was the standard press image
    in circulation at the time.
