Acquisition
Presented to Tate Archive by Rubin Lipchitz, March 1989; the cataloguing and selective digitisation of this archive collection was supported by Mr Timm Bergold, 2023
Reference
TGA 897/4/1/2

Description

On the first page there is a list of clothing items.
On the top of two first pages there is a writing in blue pen 'J'ai faim' (I am hungry). There are several sketches in pencil.
Contains two draft letters, one note on a telegram from Petrograd, and dated (only day, no month or year) entries for '19' to '29'.Saint-Peterbourg was renamed 'Petrograd' in 1914, and became 'Leningrad' in 1924, though Lipchitz could continue to name it in the older style. Most probably, the whole diary is dated by the time of WWI.
