Nearly forgotten but glorious art, envisionings and historical oddments from the back corners of the internet
Plates from Aleksandr Pushkin’s fairy tale “Conte de tsar Saltan et de son fils” (Tale of Tsar Saltan, of his son the glorious and mighty knight Prince Guidon Saltanovich, and of the fair Swan-Princess). Published in Paris in 1921 in a French translation. Éditions De La Sirène, publisher. Natalia Goncharova, illustrator.
The National Gallery of Australia has all of the plates scanned though many I can’t enlarge enough to use here. But you can see them here if you like https://artsearch.nga.gov.au/detail.cfm?irn=41248
On a voyage to see how much mileage I can get from the creative ability and eye for images that my family thought was useless. On line art curator, fiction writer and now blogger. Historian's daughter. Follow me . . .even I have no idea where I'm going next.
