Filled with portraits, miniatures, silver, arms and armor, heraldry, sumptuous embroidery and tapestries, and stunning jewelry, this colorful book explores the diplomatic, trade, and cultural exchanges between the courts of Britain and Russia from the reign of Henry VIII to the death of Charles II.

Illustrating a broad range of fine and decorative art from spectacular English-made silver to jewelry worn by Sir Francis Drake and textiles that emphasize the colors of daily life at court, this engaging book illuminates the intriguing lives of Elizabeth I, Charles II, Ivan the Terrible, Henry VIII, and other famed monarchs.
