Our Notes & References

A complete example of this impressive photographic survey of the Kremlin, often found incomplete. The 120 plates include photographic views and details of the Kremlin buildings and churches, as well as the treasures still housed in this fortress: interiors of churches, furniture, icons and their decorations, luxurious religious book bindings, clothes and objects, princely helmets and harnesses etc.

Lukomskiy (1884-1952) was a curator of Tsarskoe Selo and a knowledgeable art historian specialized in Russian art and archaeology. Most of his numerous publications appeared in French first, like this one.
