William Alexander's 'Costume of the Russian Empire' is one of the best illustrated portrayals of Russian culture from peasants to royalty. Alexander took information available to him on Russian history and collected into one book – each of the illustrations is accompanied by a short descriptive text in both English and French. The illustrations depict costumes from Lapland, Finland, Estonia, Tartary, Kamtshakta, and other Northern Russian areas.
