The present album acquaints its readers with aristocratic receptions in the halls of the parade suite: courtesy visits and gaming in the living room, brilliant balls and masquerades in the ball-room, amazing luxurious dinner parties in the dining room, man-to-man talks in the cabinet and ladies’ amusements in the boudoir. High life daily routine with no exaggeration can be considered the main character of the book. Many details of high life were renewed with the help of the contemporaries’ evidences: their correspondence, diaries and memoirs. Painting, engravings, works of applied art, cards and old photos let us feel the atmosphere of metropolitan receptions again.
