You were trying to find somewhere that "Kurt melech"?

Thanks for the help!
 

Certainly tried! About a month spent in an Internet directory . I found nothing ! Approached from a historical point of view ... appear to correspond to the period of Russian- Turkish war of 1828-1829. Just before the first mass action of workers and sailors of Sevastopol against the authorities in 1830 . In Sevastopol, at the time there were about 30 thousand inhabitants. The bulk of the population was made up by the military. Brutal drill, cane discipline , overwork , malnutrition , beatings, imprisonment in solitary confinement , shackling - it was common for sailors and soldiers. Was not in the best position of the working people . The government followed a policy aimed at the free and unimpeded trade in foreign and local merchants. Accordingly, the situation of children was unimaginably worse. I think, begging child at the time was the usual pattern of Sevastopol.
Maybe Kurt Melech a pseudonym, though , it was a military ...

Boris Cohn, Thanks for the info!

Kurt- Melech, a village in the Crimea. It has long disappeared . There were many such small towns, see Ichki Kurt , Kurt ( Kart ) - Bii .
A label is likely to read. "Sevastopol. Kurta Melek . August 2, 1870 . " At the bottom of the text seems to continue.
Kurt - Kurt or Melek (hill) Melech ( King, Karaite Jewish - lang. ), On the Crimean Tatar translated Royal Hill.
This is what is a very good artist . Look !

" Kurt- Melech, a village in the Crimea."

Look for an autograph.

Nekrasov (formerly Malak). "

Read ... until 1948 , the village of Malak (Melek) still existed!
So , we are on the right track. Chose several iconic artists, check, checked out until no one could be in 1870 in Sevastopol , although this period is an interest to artists tragiseskim moments in Russian history , critical realism .
While the outcome is not .
Maybe someone will tell which of the artists in this period ( 1870) had been in Sevastopol?

I examine autograph ... very similar to the Gr. Meat eaters. Maybe I deystritelnost wishful thinking , and the autobiography is not the same ! Until 1870 he was abroad : Paris, Rome, Florence, returned to Russia in 1870 ... it's hard to imagine that he zkstrenno pulled in Sevastopol ...
Be Mauger , who will give a link to his autograph?

It may be a date in 1890?
There third tsiferkami so written that gives room for imagination.
