Description
Annah Richardson, originally of Rockland, and her son Albert are pictured sitting in the grass in the Russian countryside during the summer of 1916.
Annah's husband Arthur Berry Richardson, worked as the agent for the Chesebrough Manufacturing Company in Moscow, Russia. When the Russian Revolution broke out, the Richardsons were forced to escape to the east on the Trans-Siberian Railroad disguised as peasants. From Russia they travelled to China and Japan, and returned to the U. S. in late 1918. Richardson worked for Chesebrough from 1920 until 1936 in England, where the couple's four children were educated.
