Footnotes

  • Rechberg's celebrated work on the costumes and customs of the peoples of the Russian Empire, including descriptions and plates of the Aleutian Islands (Russian America) and the Kuril Islands. This copy has the plates printed in colours and enhanced by hand-colouring. The Cosaques de Don plate called for is not present as usual (see Lipperheide), but is replaced with the Montagne de glace surl'Irtiche à Tobolsk plate of an artifical snow slope. It also includes the often suppressed Le bain russe.
