Images of Old Russia from 1872

This is a massive (66 pieces) photo set of the scenery, people and well known landmarks of Russia from back to 1872. I like the details and style of those pictures, which seem to me to be the scans from the old lithographs, probably France made. Those are also full size, and I spent quite some time enjoying them. There are also captions below each picture.
