Imperskii shag Ekateriny: Rossiia v angliiskoi karikature XVIII veka (Catherine's imperial stride: Russian in English caricatures of the 18th c.)

St. Petersburg: Arka, 2016. Sewn pb. The way the British expressed their contempt fear or envy of the new power in European politics is vividly seen it the caricatures by English artists from the 1730s to the 1790s. Most focus on Catherine's reign, when Russian military successes led now to alliances now to alienation, as the British perceptions of Russia as an ally or a threat changed. When Suvorov, for example, drove Napoleon's troops from Italy, he was lionized; when his ambition became Paris he was feared and thwarted. 287 p., 21 x 22 cm, approx. 150 color illus., Rus. with summary in ENGLISH.
