25 architectural and interior drawings, contained in a leather portfolio, of the Winter Palace in St. Petersburg estimated to have been drawn between 1847 and 1855. Although the draftsmen of these drawings and their motives are unknown, they must have been made in an effort by Czar Nicholas I to document the New Hermitage Museum and his residence the Winter Palace. The drawings were rendered in ink and some have colored washes. They are backed with cloth and the larger ones are segmented and joined with cloth hinges. Some of the drawings have small sections of revisions pasted over the original drawings.

25 architectural drawings : 216.8 x 55.5 cm. and smaller.
