Illustrated cards for the provinces of the Russian Empire (published in St. Petersburg 1856).  Each card presents an overview of the province's history, geography, culture and economics.  The front depicts distinguishing features such as rivers, mountains, and major cities and industries.  The back shows a map of the province, the provincial seal, information about the population, and a picture of the local dress of the inhabitants.

The cards shown here are the guberniyas (governorates) of Tiflis, Kutais, Erivan, Baku (Shamakhi) and Derbent.
