Large photo album Moscow, Architectural Landmarks of the 1830 - 1910s, 1977 edition.
Large format. Measures 12" x 10 ½" x 1", weighs nearly 5 lbs. 376 pp. Cloth-bound hardcover. The textblock is in two parts: 250 pages of b/w full-page photos with Russian and English captions printed on pure white heavy-stock semi-gloss coated paper followed by a 176-page essay on the subject with in-text small photo illustrations printed on fawn-toned heavy-stock matte paper with two columns of text per page, in Russian and English. Published by the Arts Publishers, Moscow.
In excellent condition. The only item of detriment is the separation of the back free endpaper from the textblock at the hinge, not detractive in the slightest. The binding is tight and strong. The cover is free of stains, corner bumps, scuffing or any other damage or age wear.
The album includes photos of some palatial and industrial buildings but mostly residential ones, from large apartment buildings to magnificent mansions, including details of interior design. Amazing artistry and complexity of both exteriors and interiors, proudly showing off the owners' wealth and appreciation of beauty.
Please note that the pen in our photo is for size reference only.
