AN OPULENT ALBUM ISSUED TO COMMEMORATE 300 YEARS OF ROMANOV RULE. This was only one of many lavish tributes to the tricentennial of Romanov rule on the eve of World War I and just a few years prior to the Russian Revolution. Zvorykin was a follower of I.Y. Bilibin and worked in a similar manner, taking his inspiration from folk art.
