A book that unites two legendary names—the historian Nikolai Mikhailovich Karamzin (1766–1826) and the artist Boris Artemyevich Chorikov (1802–1866)—is one of the masterpieces of 19th-century Russian publishing. Published in 1836 by the St. Petersburg publisher Andrei Prévost, "Picturesque Karamzin" instantly became a bestseller, thanks in large part to the engravings by Boris Chorikov, whose work was highly praised by the Imperial Academy of Arts. The editors of the book, based on Karamzin's "History," were the journalists V. M. Stroyev and B. M. Fedorov. Chorikov's battle scenes and portraits of Russian historical figures, imbued with drama and psychological depth, embody the spirit of romanticism and reverence for the history of the Fatherland, characteristic of Karamzin's text. The new edition of "Picturesque Karamzin" presents Boris Chorikov's classic engravings in color for the first time, which will undoubtedly attract the attention of not only adults but also young readers.
