Portrait of H. P. Blavatsky
Helena Petrovna Blavatsky rests her cheek against one hand, with a dark covering framing her face. The caption identifies the original as a photograph in Franz Hartmann’s possession. Reproduced alongside his autobiography, the portrait connects the journal’s account of Theosophy with a specific personal collection.
