Cat of Kazan (Cot) D. A. Rovinskii’s Collection of Russian Lubki (18th–19th Century)The oldest surviving lubki, according to Roatcap, were printed in Kiev (present-day Ukraine) in 1625 and depicted Orthodox religious figures and scenes. Indeed, lubki are thought by many scholars to have first gained popularity as a cheap substitute for religious icons and were used by people of the lower and middle classes to decorate the walls of homes and taverns. Great for holiday/Christmas gift or to create your gallery wall. #holidayshopping #holidays #holidayseason #holiday #christmas #shopsmall #shoplocal #shopping #giftideas #holidaygifts #christmasshopping #holidaysale #holidayspirit #gifts #holidaystyle #happyholidays #onlineshopping #handmade #christmasgifts #shoppingaddict #shop #smallbusiness #blackfriday #shoppingspree #shoppingtime #iloveshopping #fashion #instagood #holidaydecor
