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.
