Not sure if you want the photo from 1919 specifically, but Wikipedia has several photos from 1920/1921 and some unattributed dates:
Public domain

Public domain

Public domain

With Rüdiger von der Goltz(this is likely 1919)(how do you scale the pictures here?):


It says here that the photo is in public domain in US, but it’s not on Wikimedia for whatever reason, so I can’t get an English version of the text.
Uploader lists the source as this book:
https://www.amazon.co.uk/Keller-Fomin-Gagkuev-Balmasov-Ganina/dp/5858241700
on Fyodor Arturovich Keller

These guys stick their watermark to the photo above, though I have no idea whether you can do that to a photo made a 100 years ago.

Same question from me, too.

Do you mean 1918 or 1920? My understanding is that in 1919, Poland was on the offensive in the Belarus.
These are not actual photos, but 2 illustrations of Red Army entering Minsk. One is for 1918(author unknown):

You don’t need to - better not actually - we will change the settings so that it displays the full picture. To see the original size you open the pic in a new window.

Update on my previous post. The photo with von der Goltz comes from Avalov’s own memoirs(Achtung, German! =) ) - Im Kampf gegen den Bolschewismus. Erinnerungen von General Fürst Awaloff. Oberbefehlshaber der Deutsch-Russischen Westarmee, after page 148:

Other than that there seems to be a great deal of pictures of him in there.

Again, not a photo(all the online sources seem to use either Treaty of Tartu or Treaty of Riga photos as illustrations), but if you need it, Pravda from 15.07.1920 with an article about Peace treaty being signed 3 days prior(on the right):
image
Overall it seems like the talks were not covered in soviet press that much, unlike the ones with Latvia and Poland, at least that’s the impression I got from sifting through Pravda issues.
Maybe the Soviet side were not that interested in documenting those and Lithuanian side didn’t bring their photographers to Moscow(Estonian and Latvian peace treaties being signed in those respective countries).

Thank you all for the contributions so far! We’re getting the pictures to the editors and will make sure that the Picturehunt points get assigned to the right people on the leaderboard.

We’d like to introduce you all to our video archives, so you can take a look in there too. Our main source is the Reuters Screenocean Archive, -> https://reuters.screenocean.com/. You can search per newsagency, topic or timeperiod (and find for example this report on the Winter War). Besides helping us tremendously, its really fun to look through the old archival material.

A Second source is the Jeff Quitney YouTube Channel. Harder to search, but they have great archival material as well. Check it out here -> https://www.youtube.com/user/webdev17.

Please post the URL to the video, and the TImeframe (for example 0:53-1:11). Try to be as specific as possible – as you know from watching the show, we can’t use minute long fragments.
