In outstanding, excellent condition. The image is absolutely pristine. The paper around it shows very minor shelf wear, foxing and small corner bumps, not very noticeable or detractive.

Lake Ritsa (озеро Рица) is the largest and deepest (390 ft) lake in the western Caucasus region. Its stunning beauty has attracted millions of visitors and vacationers, from painters, photographers and campers to Stalin by whose order a dacha was built on the very shore of the lake in 1947 (shown in our last photo).

Aleksey Mikhailovich Sementsov-Ogievskiy (Алексей Михайлович Семенцов-Огиевский, 1922 - 1998) was a master of graphic arts, book illustrator, member of the USSR Artists Union. Nature was the main focus and theme of his artwork.

Please note that the pen in our photo is for size reference.
