Antique prints of Russia

Our antique prints of Russia are wood engravings from the French illustrated press of 1877 to 1881: Arkhangelsk by J. Gauchard, a general view of the Kremlin in Moscow by Charles Laplante and Clerget, a distribution of soup to the poor in St Petersburg and the expulsion of the Jews from Kiev in 1881.

These plates were cut for the illustrated magazines of the time and are among the few affordable period images of nineteenth-century Russia, of interest for both topography and social history.

All pieces are period originals unless stated otherwise, with a technical description and measurements.
