Alekseev, and A.I. Shtakenshneider (Stakenschneider), among others. There are fifteen albums of engravings by the seventeenth-century Italian architect, Giambattista Piranesi, and three albums of engravings (issued in three copies, 1820–1825) containing views of Egyptian monuments prepared during Napoleon’s expedition. There are also lithographed courses of lectures, such as one by N.N. Sultanov on the “History of Ancient Architecture” (1878); lithographed studies, such as those by A.A. Alekseev—“Italian Wrought-Iron Work” and “Wrought and Cast Ornamentation in Old St. Petersburg”; and manuscript reports on assignments abroad. Working conditions: The library has three reading rooms.
