I`d like to announce the publication of the following album ( in fact, i was invited to the presentation of this album to the Russian Embassy in Warsaw):
BAŁOWIEŻA rezydencja carska БЕЛОВЕЖ царская резиденция
Swietłana Czestnycj, Karen Kettering
Warszawa: Wydawnictwo Hartigrama, 2009
this a bilingual, Polish_rUssian album presenting a unique collection of pictures taken in Belovezh residence.
ISBN 978-83-925236-8-0
the book is sold through the publisher
wydawnictwo@hartigrama.pl
the album is absolutelu unique and great. the majority of the photoes was given by a russian emigree living in the us. the album has an introduction presenting some info on belovezh, the imperial family and servants BUT BUT BUT the album contains a few pictures not of belovezh but spala!!! these pictures show the small palace in spala.may be the point is that these ladies are not historians, they are not keen on history they deal with the history of art. also, one of the pictures comes either from spala or warsaw as i saw this picture in the album published in 1897 after the IF visit to poland. i have to check whether this picture was taken in warsawa or spala.it wasn`t belovezh definitely.
i`jj try to post some pictures in yje appropriate threads but i don`t have a scanner
