From the first map of Russia, which was created based on the drawings of the English explorer Anthony Jenkinson (1562-1611); the first court portraits of Peter the Great, painted in London by the German artist Sir Godfrey Kneller – to the furs, dogs and domestic photographs that the British and Russian royal families exchanged throughout history.

All profits will be donated to the CamRuSS for Ukrainians Hardship Fund.
