Parfait, avec d'excellentes photos, c'est un bel ouvrage, professionnellement mené avec une belle imprimerie d'art. Les textes sont très complets et hautement intéressants.
Un livre que je feuillette par plaisir des yeux... mais en plus de lire l'histoire de ces merveilles est un plaisir égoïste!
While there were some stunning pictures, I was disappointed by how relatively few there were for the size of the book. The Romanovs had some gorgeous jewelry, and I'd have liked to have seen more pictures of the jewels and less of the people (without the jewels). There were also some factual errors in the book, as well as a lot of info on more distant relations that really added nothing to the book. In all, I'd have to say that I was very disappointed.
This lovely book is read more as a memoir than a jewelry book. Many photos are of jewels that were destroyed or lost, so the book also act as an archive of these wonderful creations. The text is very well done but with so many Marias, Alexandras and the complicated system for russian last names, a genealogical tree or guide would have been so welcomed (next edition maybe). If you love russian history or jewelry, a great addition for your library.
This is the book that actually shows the jewelry, shows the person wearing the jewelry, and provides detailed information about how the piece was acquired, what it's made of, and what happened to it. I also have the book by Prince Michael of Greece called Jewels of the Tsars: The Romanovs and Imperial Russia which shows only the crown jewels of Russia. This book by Papi is fabulous and much more informative and interesting than the Prince Michael book.This book, by Stefano Papi, is big (cocktail table-type); printed on quality paper; and provides close up, clear, crisp, color photos of the jewelry. It is separated in chapters according to individuals and/or families of the last 2 Tsars and close relations or friends (such as Grand Duchess Maria Pavlovna, Grand Duchess Ella, the Yussopovs). Also, since it would be impossible to cover all of their private jewelry, this book talks about the more interesting pieces or pieces that are just "unreal". I mean there are crowns that have diamonds the size of quarters. When looking at them, it's hard to conceive that they are REAL diamonds because there are so many that are so big.There are other items shown also - such as Faberge cigarette cases, Faberge photo frames, cufflinks. Since the photos are close up, you get to see the extraordinary artistic work involved in creating the pieces.This book is fabulous eye candy for those that love and appreciate wonderful jewelry.
This book is indeed beautiful and large. I've never seen some of these jewels before. However, I would have liked to have seen several things: 1) starting at the beginning of each chapter, a family tree so you know who they are talking about and where they fit in and most importantly, 2) every picture of a jewel should state whether the jewel has survived (and where it is) or if the jewel has been destroyed. I found myself thinking so much, "I wonder if this jewel survived" - it would be nice to know that.
This is a lovely book to look at and the author has unearthed some very rare photos you only normally see in low quality on the internet along with pieces sold long ago at obscure auctions for our viewing pleasure. Having said that I found this book somewhat disappointing. Given the topic there's some unavoidable cross over with the contents of Jewels of the Tsars: The Romanovs and Imperial Russia, which is another visual treat. The author has also matched up photos of people wearing their jewels to sold pieces that is very interesting and lacking in "Jewels of the Tsars" on a scale such as this.What it is missing though is a full list of the jewels sold in 1927 and those taken into exile with the imperial family. To get the 1927 list you have to get A History of the Crown Jewels of Europe which is both rare and expensive or for the jewels in exile The Fate of the Romanovswhere the list is available as an appendix. The lack of this hard, useful information for those researching Russian imperial jewels will make this book of mostly visual use in the future rather than the last word on the subject. One other glaring omission in both of these books is a lack of photos of the jeweled badges the ladies in waiting wore for each empress. These are distinctly Russian pieces of jewellery, and while odd examples are shown neither book goes into them in any detail which is a great pity.The text is 90% recounting of the biographies of various members of the imperial family and friends lives. I suspect a full family tree would be useful for those not familiar with the Romanovs. The majority of the information about the jewels themselves is to be found in the captions for the pictures and for me that made this a somewhat odd book, but one which nevertheless will have it's place on my bookshelf.
