Wooden Churches – Travelling in the Russian North
-
The photographs in this book have been taken over a period of nine years. These churches are the remnants of thousands that were built all over Russia from the time of Prince Vladimir (958-1015). Most of those that survive are to be found in the sparsely populated north-western corner of Russia. Along with the photographs of Richard Davies, there are first-hand accounts by Matilda Moreton of their journeys, and the insights and interpretations of writers and artists, travellers and historians, propagandists and politicians.

The majority of the reproduced photographs were taken on medium format film camera. In close collaboration with the photographer, the images were digitally developed to the highest degree. Subsequent colour reproduction and separation work was carefully undertaken to ensure an optimal translation of the photograph to the final printed reproduction. Much attention to the selection of materials and supervision during print production was also of vital importance.
