Aiko Ikeo asks about a photo in the second volume of Robert
Skidelsky's biography of Keynes that purports to be of Keynes "in
Petrograd" in 1925 whereas there is a suggestion that the location
may have been Moscow.
I do not have an answer to her query, but it reminds me that
Skidelsky has a wrongly attributed location for a photo of Keynes in
his third volume. He shows Keynes with Harry Dexter White "at Bretton
Woods in 1944" whereas it was actually at the inaugural Governors'
meeting at Savannah, Georgia, in March 1946.
I am indebted to the IMF's official historian, James Boughton, for my
information. There is, of course, much interest right now in the
Fund's history and the lessons of Bretton Woods.
