description: Ur-Land of Oz... An aquatint view – from one of our most beautiful printed volumes – of the pre-Kansas homeland of our local Volga German population, who brought to western Kansas the Turkey-red wheat (as well as the noxious and pesky Russian thistle and bindweed) and by the former helped fashion us into The Breadbasket of The World.

Augustin de Meyerberg (1612-1688). Sammlung von Ansichten auf seiner Reise in Russland in 1661 und 1662. St. Petersburg: R. Adelung, 1827 H287
description: Winter Notes on Summer Impressions... Austrian diplomat Augustin de Mayerberg was sent 1661-1662 by Emperor Leopold I to mediate in the fight between Russia and Poland over the Ukraine. The diplomatic mission failed but one happy result was this beautifully illustrated account of the sojourn published 165 years later and containing valuable information on the political history, government, and way of life in 17th century Russia.

description: Poor People... Ignatii Stepanovich Shchedrovskii, graphic artist, lithographer and painter, was born in Lithuania, studied in Vilna, and attended the St. Petersburg Academy of Arts at age 18 to 21. His Scenes from Popular Life of 1839 was republished in 1846, 1852 (our copy), and 1855. The rural element still existed in St. P. in the early 20th century just as it did in South Slavic lands throughout the century. This was not seen to a great extent in London, Paris, Berlin, and not much in New York City at the turn of the 20th century, except in ethnic neighborhoods, but in St. Petersburg peasant peddlers still played a role in commerce, and the village way of life was still evident in the bazaars where P.-burgers bought more than in the retail emporiums. Our Lawrence farmers' market has the rural spirit.

Posters of the Russian Revolution, 1917-1929, from the Lenin Library, Moscow. New York: Grove Press, 1967 J14
description: Defend to the End Petrograd! Or more loosely translated, "Defend Petrograd with your life!" This poster is from the "other side" in the Revolution, not to say the West, but the anti-Bolshevik White Guards. General Nicolai W. Yudenich, leader of the White Army in the Baltic, began an offensive from Estonia in October of 1919, made it to within 30 miles of Petrograd but was rebuffed by the Bolsheviks. Whether or not the image of the man with the bayonet purports to be a likeness of Yudenich – we don't know. More than 3600 such Soviet posters are known to have been preserved. This reproduction is from a collection at the Lenin Library in Moscow.
