The image in the article is of Avram Petrovich Gannibal. It comes up in Google image searches on Amo. I've written to Google a few times to get them to correct this. No luck so far. There are no confirmed images of Amo in existence.

Wow. In many respects that’s not surprising. But I certainly wouldn’t have caught it. Amo is someone I know very little about, and that’s something I hope to rectify.

Let me know if you want to see the draft translation and long biographical intro I've written with Stephen Menn for our forthcoming, A. W. Amo: Selected Writings. Will be happy to send it.

Pardon the unsolicited tweet thread interruption, but do you have a release date for that volume? I'd love to get it!

We're moving slowly because we want it to be comprehensive and authoritative, and there's a lot of archival work involved. But let's say mid-to-late 2019.
