Title A name given to the resource Bossoli's Album Description An account of the resource The talents of Carlo Bossoli (1815-1884), a Swiss-born Italian artist who spent his youth in Odessa, attracted the attention of no less a figure than Count Mikhail Vorontsov, governor-general of New Russia and Bessarabia. Vorontsov commissed a series of views of Odessa, which Bossoli executed with success. Between 1840 and 1842 Bossoli lived on Vorontsov's estate at Alupka, using it as a base for exploring the peninsula in its entirety. He produced the album from which these watercolors are taken just as the Crimean War was breaking out in 1853. The timing was auspicious and Bossoli's publisher (Day & Son, lithographers to the Queen) was quite pleased with <a title="the view from London" href="/items/show/615" target="_blank" rel="noopener">the resulting buzz</a>. Bossoli's album is a rarity: no more than 500 copies were printed in 1856. The album consisted of 52 watercolors and pastels. The images shown here were digitized and graciously made available by the Gordon Library at Worcester Polytechnic Institute. They are available here for educational, non-commercial purposes only. Interestingly enough, a bilingual edition (Russian and English) was reproduced in Kiev in 2003.

The editors of the 2003 volume had high hopes that Crimea "should become an integral historical-cultural and natural preserve and prosper in the unity of nations living on its land."

Title A name given to the resource A revealing blueprint Description An account of the resource In the middle of the nineteenth century, the scholarly appetite for such scholarship was considerable. Small wonder. Sifting through dozens of pages of transcriptions and translations yields tantalizing insight into the patronage practices, literary preferences, and the crafting of identity in the early modern world of the Giray clan. It yields equally tantalyzing insights into the interests and competencies of the nineteenth-century Russian amateurs, bureaucrats, and trained professionals who consumed and produced academic knowledge about the region. Most importantly for our purposes, the inscriptions constitute a carefully preserved ceremonial space; a blueprint, in a way, of physical structures that have, in many cases, been lost or lapsed into ruin. <img style="float: right;" src="http://www.hansaray.org.ua/images/schema_bgcs.gif" alt="" />This is particularly true of the inscriptions found in the neighborhoods surrounding Bakhchisaray: in (working west to east on this map) Eski Yurt, [Bahçesaray], Salaçık, and Kırk-Er.  Two came from a mausoleum at Salaçık, a medieval settlement in the Churuk Su valley at the foot of Chufut Kale. <a href="http://dighist.fas.harvard.edu/projects/beautifulspaces/items/show/570" target="_blank">They appeared on the pages of the Odessa Society Proceedings.</a> https://s3.amazonaws.com/atg-prod-oaas-files/beautifulspaces/original/412e8645172a1734d584e4519ccb5ca0.jpg 242dccd79c8f53b0e5842688a4138f91 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
