Abstract
Works on paper depicting Russian and Eastern European subjects at the Smithsonian Institution's National Museum of American History include fine art and popular prints, photographs, posters, bookplates, sheet music, and other illustrations. This article discusses these works in the context of French influences on Russian art as well as documenting some aspects of the representation of US-Russian relations in illustrated popular media. It also describes an important group of prints and photographs in the Gustavus V. Fox Collection of Russian “souvenirs,” acquired as a diplomatic gift in 1866 and donated to the Smithsonian in 1909.
