André L. de Saint-Rat Collection of Russian History, Literature and Art
Ca. 2,000 volumes. The André and Catherine de Saint-Rat Collection of Russian History, Literature and Art is a unique grouping of books, objects, pamphlets, manuscripts, and art themed around the Russian Silver Age period and focuses on several prominent artists, as well as the political situation shortly after the 1917 revolution. The collection includes a vast number of materials dealing with such diverse topics as the Russian Imperial family, military history, folktale, fin-de-siècle literature and art, children’s literature, transportation, and politics. It includes scarce and rare military histories, works of the artist Annenkov, and books from the libraries of Nicholas II and Alexandra. This is Mr. and Mrs. de Saint-Rat’s personal collection purchased from their estate. Full description available: http://spec.lib.miamioh.edu/home/desaintrat/
