Step back in time with these captivating archive photos that offer a glimpse into the lives of influential figures from the past. In the early 1900s, renowned composer Sergei Rachmaninov (1873-1943) graced the world with his musical genius, while Russian author and founder of Theosophy, Helena Blavatsky, left an indelible mark on literature in 1889.
