They worked together, one of them a middle manager of a farm, where wheat was grown, and the other a manager of a brewery which bought the wheat and brewed beer.  These files relate primarily to depictions from Russia.</text>

              <text>Judging from the costumes and the background, this picture appears to be taken in Russia.  (Mort, at page 10 of his book says this picture was taken in Russia.  He also describes the picture as "Lawrence with his brother and sisters", which is clearly a mistake.  Lawrence only had one brother, Sasha, who was many years his junior.  The man depicted in this picture is clearly older than Lawrence.&#13;
&#13;
I recognize Rita to the right.  Hi described the other sister as Sonia.  &#13;
&#13;
Lawrence appears to be about 15 or 16 years of age here, which would have meant that this picture was taken in 1902 or 1903.  </text>
