Bøger af ELENA MOISEYENKO

This book presents historical costumes of the Romanov dynasty from its 17th-century founder, Mikhail Fiodorovich, to Nicholas II and Tsarevich Alexei. Each picture is accompanied by a brief informative commentary. Full-colour images of the costumes -- details of paintings from the Hermitage collection -- are placed on all four pages of the cover as guides for colouring. The book is printed on Finnish paper that allows the use of coloured pencils, watercolour, gouache or gel pens to complete the drawings.

The third colouring book in the series presents descriptions of the clothing traditionally worn by the inhabitants of Russia's northern, central and southern provinces and the wonderfully beautiful articles that were made in peasant homes without electricity or any other modern technology in the 18th and 19th centuries.
