Large format, measures 12" x 9 ½", 183 pp, weighs nearly 4 lbs. Hardcover, comes in its original slip-cover in rigid laminated cardboard. Printed on heavy-stock coated matte paper, perfect for viewing photo illustrations. Russian text. Published in Moscow. Exceptionally rare, only 600 copies printed. The album contains photos and information on the majority of items in the Svetlana & Pavel Romanov collection which numbers over 300 porcelain figurines. The album is completed by an index of maker marks and signatures and brief biographical notes about the sculptors, authors of the figurines.

In outstanding like-new condition. The slip-cover has acquired miniscule corner bumps but no other damage of any kind. The album itself shows barely noticeable wear at the hinge of the title page, and that's the beginning and end of the list of items of detriment. The binding is perfectly tight and is designed to allow easy and full opening of any page.

The Svetlana and Pavel Romanov porcelain collection is not the largest private collection in the world but it is wonderfully structured by themes: literature and theater, history, childhood and youth, animals, etc.
