Head: Natal'ia Nikolaevna Skorniakova (tel. +7 495 692-14-80) Holdings Total: over 560,000 units; 18th–20th cc. Russian advertising posters—28,000 units (late 19th c.–1990); architectural graphics—139,500 units (late 19th–early 20th cc.); lubok wood prints—258,500 units (late 17th–early 20th cc.); photographs—133,284 (mid-19th c.–1990) This division holds documentary photographic material (negatives, daguerreotypes, slides, and photographs), original and printed graphics (engravings, lithographs, and lubok), and architectural drawings. Iconographic sources have been taken from various major collections or have been acquired as separate historical pictorial art collections. Documentary photographic materials illustrate the life and customs of the peoples of Russia. Many of these result from historical daily-life expeditions between 1860 and 1917, and from similar expeditions after the Revolution (the Magadan and Vladivostok Expedition of 1966, the Novosibirsk Expedition of 1970, and the Baltic Expedition of 1972, among others). These materials form a separate fond of expedition photographs. Another separate collection contains photographs of early Russian architectural monuments in Moscow and annotated photographs of streets, localities, and buildings of historical interest in the city, which were referred to in the excursions around Moscow conducted by the prominent historians P.N. Miller and M.I. Aleksandrovskii. The division also has collections of negatives taken by Z.Z. Vinogradov, A.A. Gubarev, and John Hopwood on various subjects (Moscow architecture and life, European Russia, the Crimea, the Volga Region, and Central Asia). Other collections have pictures taken by E.S. Bialyi, V.P. Grebnev, O.A. Lander, and S. Strunnikov (events of the Second World War from the Battle of Moscow to the Battle of Stalingrad). There is a collection of photographic material from the former Artillery History Museum on the history of the Armed Forces of the USSR and international relations from 1917 to the 1950s, taken by the Soiuzfoto and TASS agencies. Architectural drawings and sketches form a separate complex. Spanning the mid-eighteenth to the early twentieth centuries, they illustrate the work of such well-known Russian architects as O.I. Bove, A.L. Vitberg, M.F. Kazakov, Domenico Gilardi (D.I. Zhiliardi), V.P. Stasov, and A.V. Shchusev. They include the drawings and plans of buildings restored after the fire of 1812; drawings and plans of Moscow buildings erected between 1860 and 1890; ensembles and individual buildings in Russia and abroad that illustrate the use of different architectural techniques; and drawings by R.M. Gabe showing the dwellings and domestic implements used by peasants in the north of Russia (1921–1939). There is also a collection of printed engravings. Most prominent here is the collection of P.Ia. Dashkov containing more than 39,000 plates, and the thematic collection of I.Kh. Kolodeev devoted to the Napoleonic War of 1812. The division has a collection of original Russian graphics and a collection of posters, which includes prerevolutionary advertising posters and trade marks from the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, as well as Soviet posters and Second World War posters from the windows of TASS. Reference facilities: There are alphabetical card catalogues, which include name, geographic, and several thematic files. There are two registration card files—”by acquisition register numbers and by inventory registers. |
