The album was the result of the collective work of famous Russian painters, graphic artists, masters of book illustration of the second half of the 19th century: Nikolai Bogatov, Claudius Lebedev, Nikolai Matveev, Konstantin Trutovsky. The union of artists to create the Pushkin album was not accidental: they were brought together by creativity in the traditions of Russian realistic art, interest in genre painting, poetization of the past, passion for history, life, costumes of ancient Rus'.
