Any city will be recognized by those unique buildings and urban spaces that make up its unique face. The facial features of cities are created by architects, and in order to realize their creative ideas, you need to know very well the history of the area where the architectural work should appear. This is especially true for cities with a rich history - such as Moscow. Postcards with views of Moscow from different periods of its existence document the image of the city. In the language of postcards, the book tells about Moscow at the end of the 19th century, the aesthetics of the times of eclecticism and Art Nouveau in the development of Moscow in the 1900-1910s, about the captured events of this period of the "mother see" life.
