Description

E. Clifton Daniel took this photograph of Soviet Foreign Minister Vyacheslav Molotov rowing a boat containing Argentine ambassador Leopold Bravo (facing camera) on a lake on the former estate of Prince Orlov. Note on the back of the photo reads in part: "On their return, when the prow was hauled ashore, the stern sank, and the ambassador found himself sitting in water." The event was a party given for foreign diplomats and their families by Soviet Premier Nikolai A. Bulgain. Part of a group of photographs belonging to E. Clifton Daniel, Jr., which he used in his book, "Lords, Ladies and Gentlemen: A Memoir."
