                  <text>In 1856, a hot new item hit the shelves in Russia: a set of&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a data-size="medium" data-align="right" data-caption="description" data-annotations="" resource="yaroslav-province" href="https://s3.amazonaws.com/atg-prod-oaas-files/imperiia/original/3159934d76f3c41fb9190281e87d6db9.jpg" class="media_link texteo_icon texteo_icon_image"&gt;playing cards&lt;/a&gt;. Created by Konstantin Matveevich Gribanov, the set had an impressive title:&#13;
&lt;div&gt;&#13;
&lt;blockquote&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Album of Geographical Playing Cards of Russia, arranged on 80 cards according to maritime basin (A wonderful and instructive child's game of patience)&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#13;
&lt;/div&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;As you can imagine, these were not your ordinary playing cards&lt;/strong&gt;. They were elaborately illustrated, beautifully-produced, and&amp;nbsp;laden with pedagogical and ideological value. If you had money to spare and fancied yourself an educated, elite, or prestige-hungry subject of the tsar, you no doubt found a way to get your hands on a set.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;We think you should play with these cards.&lt;/strong&gt; We think the chances are good that you will learn as much from them as we have. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;You don't read Russian?&lt;/strong&gt; No problem, we have translated the content.&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;You don't know where any of these places are?&lt;/strong&gt; No problem, we made maps.&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;You don't know what questions to ask?&lt;/strong&gt; No problem, we took care of that, too.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;

Before the Decree of March 31, 1959, issued by the Presidium of the RSFSR Supreme Soviet, copyright in photographs was covered by the previous law: Section 12 of the Federal Copyright Act of 1928. This previous law required a special notice for photographs to maintain copyright. According to Section 12, “to maintain his copyright to photographs, the photographer shall mark each copy with the firm name or the personal name and address of the photographer, as well as with the year of publication of the photographic work.” [From Gsovski, V. (1949). Soviet civil law: v.2, Translation. P. 406] Photographs published without this notice either lost the copyright from the publication or forfeited an already complete right. See Levitsky, S. (1964). Introduction to Soviet copyright law: Status juris, end 1962 (Law in Eastern Europe ; no. 8). Leyden: Sythoff.</text>

                  <text>In 1856, a hot new item hit the shelves in Russia: a set of&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a data-size="medium" data-align="right" data-caption="description" data-annotations="" resource="yaroslav-province" href="https://s3.amazonaws.com/atg-prod-oaas-files/imperiia/original/3159934d76f3c41fb9190281e87d6db9.jpg" class="media_link texteo_icon texteo_icon_image"&gt;playing cards&lt;/a&gt;. Created by Konstantin Matveevich Gribanov, the set had an impressive title:&#13;
&lt;div&gt;&#13;
&lt;blockquote&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Album of Geographical Playing Cards of Russia, arranged on 80 cards according to maritime basin (A wonderful and instructive child's game of patience)&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#13;
&lt;/div&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;As you can imagine, these were not your ordinary playing cards&lt;/strong&gt;. They were elaborately illustrated, beautifully-produced, and&amp;nbsp;laden with pedagogical and ideological value. If you had money to spare and fancied yourself an educated, elite, or prestige-hungry subject of the tsar, you no doubt found a way to get your hands on a set.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;We think you should play with these cards.&lt;/strong&gt; We think the chances are good that you will learn as much from them as we have. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;You don't read Russian?&lt;/strong&gt; No problem, we have translated the content.&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;You don't know where any of these places are?&lt;/strong&gt; No problem, we made maps.&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;You don't know what questions to ask?&lt;/strong&gt; No problem, we took care of that, too.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
