專家說明

Snuff-boxes engraved with maps of cities and provinces became increasingly popular at the end of the eighteenth and beginning of the nineteenth centuries, as engraved maps became more widely disseminated. Maps of the provenance of Vologda, which also included Velikii Ustiug, were a natural choice for niello artists.
