Note du spécialiste

From 1845-1855, the Imperial Porcelain Factory produced a number of Easter eggs painted with scenes after lithographs from the series Views of Palestine by G.G. and N.G. Chernetsov. For eggs with comparable views, see T. Kudriavtseva and H.A. Whitbeck, Russian Imperial Porcelain Easter Eggs, London, 2001, pp.76-83.
