Maurycy Wolff, head of the M. O. Wolff's Partnership, that had elaborated Picturesque Russia
The idea of publishing a large work, which includes a detailed, comprehensive artistic and scientific description of the Russian Empire and the peoples inhabiting it, appeared to Maurycy Wolff a long time ago. But, due to the huge risk of significant costs and the difficulty of finding writers, scientists, and artists suitable for the implementation of the very idea, he did not dare to start implementing his plan for a long time.
The core or cell of Picturesque Russia was conceived at the beginning of publishing, in 1856, an illustrated description of Poland, edited by the famous Polish writer Józef Kraszewski, but for political reasons it was not implemented.
In addition to journals, Wolff published large illustrated and scientific publications by subscription. The best scientific and literary forces were invited to participate in this edition.
