4 to, publisher´s covers and publisher´s binding. Volue 1, Book 1 in hard covers (as published) volume 1, Book 2 in publisher´s binding. VERY GOOD TO FINE.

A descriptive catalogue of Museum´s objects (books, paintings, works of art) not accounted for long time after the end of WW II. Valuable preface by Prof. I. Sautov, 'General Director of the Tsarskoe Selo State Museum Zone' (sic!).

A contoversial publication in 'Intourist English' of late 1960s. Translated from Russian typed manuscript by Irina Stukalina [sic!] The content of the catalogue is still disputed and questioned by many established researchers in Russia and worlwide.

Printed not for distribution via Russia´s traditional book stores chain, it became a rarity.
