Ice Crystals. Happy Christmas
A small part of a larger work found in this marvellous and heavily illustrated encyclopaedia. The Brockhaus and Efron Encyclopedic Dictionary (Russian: Энциклопедический словарь Брокгауза и Ефрона, abbr. ЭСБЕ; 35 volumes, small; 86 volumes, large) is a comprehensive multi-volume encyclopedia in Russian. It contains 121,240 articles, 7,800 images, and 235 maps. It was published in Imperial Russia in 1890–1907, as a joint venture of Leipzig and St Petersburg publishers. The articles were written by the prominent Russian scholars of the period, such as Dmitry Mendeleyev and Vladimir Solovyov. Reprints have appeared following the dissolution of the Soviet Union.

Creative Commons is a very different kind of archive from the traditional libraries and exhibit cases you find elsewhere. This non-profit online resource enables the sharing and use of creativity and knowledge through free legal tools. So if you have created a work and want to share it, you can. If you are looking for materials and images held by archives and universities, this is the place to look.
