Paris: Alain de Gourcuff, 1993. Slipcased. Both volumes NF internally but with light cover wear and a tear to the paper at the tail of the blue spine. Clamshell case VG but for light scuff marks to top edge.. The Palace and the Park: Yellow paper/boards; taupe lettering; 254 pp., profusely illustrated in color. The Collections: Blue paper/boards; dark navy blue lettering. 223 pp., profusely illustrated in vivid color. Both housed in a clamshell box covered with grey cloth with color-illustrated paper laid on. Heavy at 11 pounds and will require extra postage. A stunning presentation from the start with this one. Likely the most authoritative work on Pavlovsk in English. Sumptuous, grand, stunning, all these words and more fail to convey the beauty of this Russian treasure. But this set of books, housed in a custom clamshell box, goes a good part of the distance to conveying the sense of the place and its contents. All text in English. Simultaneouslyl published in French.
