Podrobnyĭ slovarʹ russkikh graverov XVI-XIX vv. : so mnogimi t︠s︡inkografīi︠a︡mi v teksti︠e︡
A dictionary of sixteenth to nineteenth century Russian engravers, compiled by D. A. Rovinskiĭ and published in St Petersburg in 1895 by the Imperial Academy of Sciences for scholars of Russian printmaking. Its pictures are small black-and-white reproductions of Russian religious woodcuts and book illustrations, including saints in landscapes, a scene of two monks before a church, and a pair of secular domestic scenes with Cyrillic captions; a designer might take from them the compressed, dense layouts of early Russian print, with framed panels and lettered borders.
