Trudy vserossīĭskago sʺi︠e︡zda khudozhnikov : dekabr ́1911--i︠a︡nvarʹ 1912
This is a 1912 Petrograd publication recording the proceedings of the All-Russian Congress of Artists, held in Saint Petersburg from December 1911 to January 1912, and aimed at art specialists and students of Russian art. The plates reproduce Russian icons, painted panels, a folding icon case and a genre painting, shown as black-and-white halftone photographs with captions. A designer could take from them the gilt-framed icon compositions, the stylised haloed figures against flat gold grounds, and the dense ornamental borders and Cyrillic lettering.
