This treasury of 226 designs for royalty-free use, all meticulously rendered from authentic Russian art and artifacts, include motifs from Moldovian carpets, Ukrainian Easter eggs, stove tiles, gingerbread molds, architectural carvings, ancient metalwork, and much more. Depictions of Matryoshka dolls, ceramic toys, and woodcuts of characters from folklore appear as well.
Only semi-useful to me. This book is a typical Dover survey -- page after page of only lightly documented images, line-drawings of items, but no actually pictures of the items cited. As a historical costumer specializing in Keivan Rus' (SCA), I found this book only moderately useful, such as a jumping-off point or idea-prompter. I'm sure this book would be more useful for folk artists and crafters.
