Russian peasant art;
Russian peasant art is a 1922 photographic survey published in New York by H. C. Perleberg, compiled by Count Aleksei Bobrinskoi from private collections of Russian folk objects. The plates show carved wooden furniture, painted chests, carved cornices and window trim, and small figure groups of peasant toys, photographed in sepia on plain cream mounts. A designer could draw on the repeating rosette, scroll and tendril carving, the painted chest panels, and the naive figure compositions for pattern and folk-motif work.
