Description

Scarce photo of the exiled Marxist

Vintage matte-finish 4 x 5.75 half-length photo of Trotsky posing outside, signed and inscribed on the reverse in blue fountain pen, "To my General Editor, M. Schachtmann, Leo Trotsky, 12/VI 1938.” In fine condition. Exiled from the Soviet Union, Trotsky arrived in Mexico in January 1937 and took refuge in the home of Rivera and Frida Kahlo, where he lived until April 1939; he is also portrayed in one of Rivera's murals along with Marx and Engels. Trotsky remains rare in signed photos.
