Podrobnyĭ slovarʹ russkikh graverov XVI-XIX vv. : s 720 fototipīi︠a︡mi i 210 t︠s︡inkografīi︠a︡mi v teksti︠e︡
A detailed 1895 dictionary of Russian engravers from the 16th to 19th centuries, compiled by D. A. Rovinskiĭ in St Petersburg by the Imperial Academy of Sciences for scholars and collectors of prints. Its pages hold reproductions of engraved portraits, historical scenes and landscapes, with captions in Russian beneath each plate. A designer might take from them the crisp hatching of early engraved portraits, the dramatic tonal contrast of allegorical scenes, and the compact layout of plates on a page.
