In order not to get lost in the vast expanses of the Russian Empire, a souvenir set of eighty-two illustrated cards was issued in St. Petersburg in 1856.
The postcards represented the provinces of Russia. The obverse of each card depicts the characteristic features of the province, its rivers, mountains, large cities and major industries.
The reverse side contains the coat of arms of the province, its map and information about the climate, natural resources and population.
In the souvenir set you can find amazing corners of our Motherland …
