Russkaia narodnaia odezhda: poneva i iubka (Russian folk clothing: shifts and skirts)
Moscow: Boslen, 2018. Sewn cl. The Sergiev-Posadskii State Historical and Art Museum, the Lev Tolstoi Museum, the Lipetsk Regional Museum, the Penzenskii State Regional Museum, and the Russian Ethnographic Museum supplied the works on which this catalogue is based. The Russian Empire had an agrarian economy based on peasant labor longer than most other countries in Europe, and it encompassed vast territories inhabited by different ethnic groups, which perhaps explains how rich is the variety and how numerous the extant examples are of village and rural costume. This catalogue publishes approximately 200 works from five museums that together show the range of range of styles — color, fabrics, patterns, forms — and techniques that made clothing far more a necessity of life. 253 p., 27 cm, approx. 300 color illus., Rus.
