When Sally Wallace--an accomplished miniaturist for more than forty
years--visited Moscow with her husband, she fell in love with the onion
domes and architecture of St. Basil's Cathedral and traveled home with
the idea to recreate it in miniature. Now, in her new book A Russian
Fantasy, Wallace takes readers on a tour of the miniature inspired by
St. Basil's, her most ambitious to date. Within these pages, photos show
the detailed exterior which replicates the cathedral, a Russian Orthodox
church in Red Square built in the sixteenth century, while the interior
reveals an entirely original design, complete with a museum, a workshop,
an astronomical observatory, and living quarters. A tribute to all of
the artisans who contributed their work, this photo journal documents
the elaborate craftsmanship that brings the miniature to life.
