3.0 out of 5 stars
Only semi-useful to me.,
By Sfandra "Sfandra" (10thC Kiev) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Russian Folk Motifs (Dover Pictorial Archive) (Paperback)
This book is a typical Dover survey -- page after page of only lightly documented images, line-drawings of items, but no actually pictures of the items cited. As a historical costumer specializing in Keivan Rus' (SCA), I found this book only moderately useful, such as a jumping-off point or idea-prompter. I'm sure this book would be more useful for folk artists and crafters.
