The book that united two legendary names at once - the historian Nikolai Mikhailovich Karamzin (1766-1826) and the artist Boris Artemyevich Chorikov (1802-1866) - is one of the masterpieces of Russian book publishing of the 19th century. Published in 1836 by the St. Petersburg publisher Andrei Prevost, "Picturesque Karamzin" instantly became a bestseller, largely due to the engravings by Boris Chorikov, whose work was highly appreciated by the Imperial Academy of Arts. The compilers of the text of the book, based on Karamzin's "History", were journalists V. M. Stroev and B. M. Fedorov. M. Fedorov. Created by Chorikov battle scenes, portraits of figures of Russian history, saturated with drama and psychological depth, embody the spirit of romantic and reverent attitude to the history of the Fatherland, inherent in the text of Karamzin. The new edition of "Pictorial Karamzin" for the first time presents classic engravings by Boris Chorikov in color, which will undoubtedly attract the attention of not only adults but also young readers.
