St. Petersburg: Arka, 2014. sewn cl. About half of the works in this catalogue come from the State Hermitage Museum and are being published for the first time. They include some rare images not to found even in large English collections. The core of the collection derives from the early nineteenth century and was most likely acquired in 1814, when Alexander I visited London; another important source was the collection built by A. B. Lobanov-Rostovskii, Russian ambassador to England from 1879 to 1882. The book serves as a good reference to the subject thanks to the bibliography of English, French, German, and Russian books and articles and the three indexes. 252 pp., 22 x 21 cm., approx. 200 color illus., Rus. with summary and index in ENGLISH.
