This is one of the most extraordinary books ever produced. It is so extraordinary that one must remember it is a book. Single-hair-brush architectural renderings commissioned by tsars done in brilliantine watercolor, faithfully and art-fully reproduced with beyond-perfect accomplishment. Lovely to hold and get lost in. It takes one very far away.
