Full Description

Originally published in 1934, this book describes the regional variation in architecture in mediaeval Russia and the South Caucasus and the influence it had on western styles. Buxton's text is annotated with many drawings and over one hundred photographs of medieval churches, including several which were destroyed under the Soviet government. This book will be of value to anyone with an interest in Russian architecture and its legacy.
