Personal Review: Faberge Eggs by Susanna Pfeffer
This book is worthwhile whether the reader wants an introduction to
Faberge easter eggs or is already familiar with these masterpieces. It
provides a history of Peter Carl Faberge and his works. It includes
photographs of forty easter eggs, most of them being the Imperial easter
eggs which were gifts from Alexander III and Nicholas II to their wives or
the dowager empress. Other less well known but also spectacular eggs
are included. The photographs show the eggs and surprises to their best
advantage. The corresponding descriptions provide information about the
significance of each egg. There were some eggs in this book that I had
never seen in other books, including Imperial easter eggs that apparently
have not been part of recent museum tours. I first bought the Christopher
Forbes book in paperback, but returned it because I was disappointed with
it. I will be keeping this one.
