It includes an article that studies different aspects of the artistic language and history of religious popular prints (lubok) in Russia from the time of its origin before the 1910s, the album of illustrations with detailed annotations for each of the works presented, a short glossary of printing techniques that were used for lubok making, as well as biographies of the owners of printing workshops.
