The edition is dedicated to the 85th anniversary of the Palekh lacquer miniature. The village of Palekh emerged as a leading centre of Russian icon- and mural-painting in the 19th century. Following the October Revolution with its outspoken Atheist ideology, around 1923, the Palekh masters of iconography began to paint papier-mache boxes applying the same principles they have learned from painting icons.
