Pair of Keystone View Company stereoview photographs depicting Mahatma Gandhi, the Indian political and spiritual leader associated with the movement for Indian independence. One stereograph is captioned “The Revered Apostle of the Satyagraha Movement—Mahatma Gandhi, Mystic and Teacher, Receives Keystone’s Photographer at his London Office,” showing Gandhi seated on the floor in traditional dress during an interview with the photographer.

The second stereograph is captioned “The Indian Leader—The Mahatma Gandhi,” depicting Gandhi seated in conversation while another man stands reading from a document. The informal interior setting reflects Gandhi’s modest personal habits and the distinctive style of dress associated with his political philosophy.

Published by the Keystone View Company, these stereographs formed part of educational series documenting notable world figures and political movements of the early twentieth century.
