The works of Nikolay Nekrasov were illustrated in cheap popular prints. This type of graphics implied simplicity of images and could be called in different ways: lubok, lubochny list, poteshny list, prostovik. Such images were often printed and colored by hand.

The exhibit, which is kept in Nekrasov Museum-Reserve “Karabikha”, is a chromolithography. In this method of producing mass-produced images, a separate printing plate was used to apply each color.

“Katerinushka. Illustration for Nekrasov’s poem ‘Korobeiniki” was produced by the publishing house of the entrepreneur and educator Ivan Dmitrievich Sytin in 1901. The chromolithograph was transferred to the museum’s collection from the collection of the State Russian Museum.

The poem “Korobeiniki” was written by Nikolay Nekrasov in 1861.

In the foreground on the left in a circle is a young couple. The young man holds the girl’s hand. The same girl is depicted on the right, sitting in a field and grieving. In the background is a village where a fair is taking place. The background of the painting is a meadow, a field, field flowers and wheat heads. The image is enclosed in a black frame.

Oh, my crate is so full

I’ve got calico and brocade

Take pity, oh sweety

Of this lad’s shoulder

I will, I will go out into the tall rye

I will wait there till the night comes

Once I see the dark-eyed lass

I will showcase all my goods

I paid no small price myself

So don’t bargain or be stingy

Bring your scarlet lips to me

Sit closer to this fine lad

The foggy night has already come

The daring lad is awaiting

Hark, it’s her! The desired one has come

The merchant is selling his goods

Katya is haggling with care

She is afraid to pay too much

A lad is kissing his lass

Asking her to raise the price

Only the deep night knows

What they agreed upon

Straighten up now, oh tall rye

And keep their secret scrupulously!

“Oh, my crate is light now,

The strap doesn’t cut my shoulders!

And all she took was a turquoise ring.

I gave her a whole piece of chintz,

A scarlet ribbon for braids,

A white shirt for a sash

To girdle her for haymaking.

My precious darling put everything

in the box, except her ring:

“I don’t want to dress up

Without my dear friend!”

What fools you are, young girls!

Didn’t she bring herself

Half a glass of sweet vodka?

And didn’t take any presents!

So, wait! I make

an unbreakable promise to you:

<…> When the crate is empty,

I’ll come home for the feast of the Intercession

And I’ll take you, my dear love,

to our Lord’s church!
