A fascinating illustrated excursion into the history of brick making in pre-revolutionary Russia begins with a brief overview of the main stages of brick production and branding. The personal collection of branded bricks, which grew out of the author's usual enthusiasm for local history, became a major scientific study and, at the same time, an entertaining journey through Russian brick factories and Orenburg houses built from bricks from various Russian manufacturers. The second part of the book provides examples of more than 40 brick brands - today this is one of the most complete systematized collections of brick factory brands in the Orenburg province. The book is addressed to a wide range of readers interested in local history, collecting, and history.
