Description
Thirty-one engravings, all clipped from issues of Памятная книжка (Pamaiatnaia knizhka), an annual almanac of military, naval, imperial court and civil officials, published in Saint Petersburg by Военной Типографий (The Military Press). Each annual contained six to ten plates, mostly of places in the empire outside of Russia proper, reflecting contemporary Russian expansionism. During the period of this album, all the engravings in the almanacs were executed by English engravers whose work appears in English view books. All were based on paintings by prominent "Russian artists". This collection, mounted in an album with a French patent, was assembled during the CDV collecting craze of the 1860s and 1870s.Views include: Svyatogorsk Uspensky Hermitage, Kharkiv; Kerch; Feodosia, Crimea; Sudak, Crimea; Karasubazar Valley, Crimea; Karasubazar Bazaar; Crimea; Yalta; Visit of Empress Maria Alexandrovna to Alushta; Orianda, the estate of the Empress in the Crimea; Palace of Prince Vorontsov at Alupka in Crimea (2); Visit of Empress Maria Alexandrovna to Alushta (2); Kutuzov Fountain in Crimea; Simferopol, Crimea; Bakchisarai, Crimea; Bakhchisarai Palace; The Monastery of the Assumption, near Bakhchisaray; Sevastopol; Khan's house in Yukary-Karales near Sevastopol; St. George Monastery, near Sevastopol; Balaklava; Merdven, near the Baidar Valley, Crimea; Neishlot Castle (Savonlinna) Finland; Kura Waterfall, Imatra, Finland; Troika; Ukrainian Scene; Resurrection Cathedral, Borisoglebsk, near Yaroslavl; Ukovsky Waterfall, Irkutsk.
