Luxurious color plates of perhaps the most decorated (decadent) palace in the world. Text in English translated from the original Russian.
The Great Palace, built in the mid-nineteenth century to the design of the well known Russian architect Konstantin Thon, is one of the most interesting landmarks in the Moscow Kremlin.

This book looks at some of the great art and architectural treasures of Russia. From the halls of the Kremlin to many of the old churches to the castles that are scattered around the country, the reader is shown through numerous color photographs the beauty of old Russia. Also included is a selected bibliography.

Very good to excellent - Beautiful hardcover with only slightly bumped corners and spine ends. No jacket. Only mars are faint few spots on first title page and page ends when closed due to storage. Very fine copy.
