Publisher's Synopsis
This book presents historical costumes of the Romanov dynasty from its 17th-century founder, Mikhail Fiodorovich, to Nicholas II and Tsarevich Alexei. Each picture is accompanied by a brief informative commentary. Full-colour images of the costumes-details of paintings from the Hermitage collection-are placed on all four pages of the cover as guides for colouring. The book is printed on Finnish paper that allows the use of coloured pencils, watercolour, gouache or gel pens to complete the drawings.
