St. Petersburg: Rosfoto, 2020. Sewn pb. This catalogue of an exhibition at Rosfoto, the Russian Center for Photographic Research and Exhibition, publishes photographs mainly of the 1860s, 70s, 80s, which come from Russian museums, archives and private collections. They stem from the custom of affluent Russians in the second half of the nineteenth century to cap their educations with a grand tour of Western Europe, especially Italy. Many are of high quality, and some smack of good photo documentation — not merely tourist sites but also people seen or encountered in the cities. 191 p., 27 cm, approx. 150 b/w illus., Rus.
