Who would expect to find numerous architectural splendors inside "barbaric" Russia? Yet here they are: 25 imperial palaces, some of them photographed for the first time for Western audiences. They range in scale from St. Petersburg's Winter Palace to smaller jewels like the Anichkov and Yelagin palaces. Prince Michael, a relative of the Romanovs, and Venturi, who specializes in architecture and travel photography, here present a fabled swath of Russian landscape, but the anecdotal text focuses more on the lives and intrigues of the court. It is therefore odd that no likenesses of the imperial family are included. Though the handsome design features many full-page and two-page illustrations, sometimes no more than details of a building are shown. Finally, given the unfamiliarity of many readers with Russian geography, a map would have helped. Prince George Galitzine and others' Imperial Splendor: Palaces and Monasteries of Old Russia ( LJ 3/15/92) provides a more sweeping view of Russian architecture. An additional purchase for comprehensive subject collections.
