Despite being incomplete, this work remains one of the most comprehensive studies on the history of Russian art. Volume 4 remained unfinished, with only Issue 23 being published, and a significant portion of the print run was destroyed. The publication was interrupted with Issue 23. Complete set, including the only published issue of the fourth volume.
