Working mainly with woodcutting techniques, Anna Ostroumova-Lebedeva often produced views of the grand architecture of St Petersburg. These images, such as the Ex Libris for Z.Morozova, are distinct and rather cold, but surprisingly harmonious.
The bookplate for S.Koznakov is an interesting stylization that typifies works of the World of Art group as a whole. Like the expressive Ex Libris for S.Lebedev, it is executed in colours with a variety of natural motifs.
