Excerpt from Peasant Art in Russia
The Editor desires to express his indebtedness to Princess Alexandre Sidamon-Eristoff and Mlle. N. de Chabelskoy for the valuable assistance they have rendered him in the preparation of this volume by placing at his disposal their remarkable collection of Russian Peasant Art. Most of the illustrations which accompany the article on Great Russia are from this source, including the unique and beautiful series of peasant costumes. The Editor also tenders his thanks to Count Alexis Bobrinsky, who has supplied the other illustrations which appear in the section devoted to Great Russia, mostly those of articles in wood. Amongst others who have given valuable help should be mentioned M. Paul Ettinger, M. N. Bilachevsky, Director of the Nicolas II Museum at Kieff, M. Basile Kritchevsky, M. S. Wasilkovsky, M. Gruchevsky, M. P. Dorochenko, the Polskie Towarzystwo Krajoznawcze (the Polish Society for the Investigation of the Country), Mme. Al. Janowski, M. Wisznicki, Mme. Maryan Wawrzeniecki, M. E. Trojanowski, M. Michael Brensztejn, and the authorities of the various museums who have kindly allowed examples of Russian Peasant Art under their charge to be reproduced here.
