RUSSIA - ZVENIGORODSKOI COLLECTION
Footnotes
A VERY FINE COPY OF A LAVISHLY PRESENTED CELEBRATION OF THE ZVENIGORODSKOI COLLECTION OF BYZANTINE ENAMELS, subsequently purchased by J.P. Morgan who donated them to the Metropolitan Museum, New York. The catalogue is "undoubtedly a masterpiece of the Russian printing industry. It has no equals either in terms of workmanship or in terms of the funds involved (it cost 120,000 roubles [approximately $200,000] in gold by the exchange rate for 1892" (Vengerov), the Dumbarton Oaks website noting that the "Zwenigorodskoi collection is almost as famous for its catalog as it was for its ancient enamels".
