Asked in 1964 by regarded columnist Leonard Lyons for the 'New York Post' if he was willing to die for his beliefs, Bertrand Russell replied, "Of course not ... After all, I may be wrong ..." Born in 1872 in Monmouthshire into one of the most prominent aristocratic families in the United Kingdom, Bertrand Arthur William Russell, 3rd Earl Russell, OM, FRS was a British philosopher, logician, mathematician, historian, writer, social critic, political activist and Nobel laureate.
At various points in his life he considered himself a liberal, a socialist, and a pacifist, but he also admitted that he had "never been any of these things, in any profound sense".
In the early 20th century, Russell led the British "revolt against idealism". He is considered one of the founders of analytic philosophy along with his predecessor Gottlob Frege, colleague G. E. Moore, and protégé Ludwig Wittgenstein. He is widely held to be one of the 20th century's premier logicians.
I don't know if it matters for you at all, but the part of the rim of the bowl of his pipe that is closest to him, you'll note that it is a bit darker. In the colorized photo, it looks shiny. In reality, this is basically burned/charred wood, and it would be a deep, light-absorbing black with no color whatsoever. I'm noting this not as a kind of criticism - your work here is amazing, but rather because it might be helpful, as in b&w photos, knowledge of exactly what color something should be is likely somewhat rare.

That is exactly what I've always imagined Bertrand Russell would look like.
