Trudy vserossīĭskago sʺi︠e︡zda khudozhnikov : dekabr ́1911--i︠a︡nvarʹ 1912
This is a 1912 Petrograd catalogue of the All-Russian Congress of Artists, issued by the publisher R. Golike and A. Vilborg for art specialists and collectors interested in Russian art. Its plates show a religious icon with saints in border panels, a grey engraved devotional panel with a row of haloed figures, and two black-line decorative initials built from stylised plant forms, flowers and a vase. A designer might draw on the dense framing of the icon and the economical line work of the initials, where stems, leaves and a vase are reduced to simple outlines inside a square.
