This elegant companion volume to the exhibition, created by a team of leading historians in collaboration with The New York Public Library, traces Russia's development from an insular, medieval, liturgical realm centered on Old Muscovy into a modern, secular, world power embodied in cosmopolitan St. Petersburg. Featuring eight essays and 120 images from the Library's distinguished collections, it is both an engagingly written work and a striking visual object.
The essays in the volume are enhanced by images of rare Russian books, illuminated manuscripts, maps, engravings, watercolors, and woodcuts from the 15th to the 19th centuries, as well as the treasures of diverse minority cultures living in the territories of the Empire or acquired by Russian voyagers.
Softcover edition, 224 pages, illustrated in color and black and white.
