A supposed photo of Zoltan Abbassid, but in reality an image of Zamenof, inventor of Esperanto, during the last years of his life. Abbassid cultivated the resemblance; one time, in his youth, he jumped a steamer and headed towards the Black Sea, in the hope of finding Zamenof in Odessa, but he was found and sent back.
This sad gentleman was the charming bee-scientist Zoltan Abbassid.
