Fine copy of this uncommon work on Russian folk art, the best examples of which were gathered across Russia and presented at this exhibition just before the outbreak of WWI. Published thanks to the success of the event, this richly illustrated production was actually the only catalogue published for any of the handicraft exhibitions. It includes essays and photographic plates on various branches of folk art, such as weaving, gold-embroidery, furniture, carpets, toys, lace and jewellery.
