   Mercier. p. 75-83 in 9e Art : les Cahiers du Musée de la
   Bande Dessinée, no. 3 (Jan. 1998). -- (Gustave Doré) --
   Begins: "Longtemps négligée et récemment ressusitée,
   L'Histoire de la Sainte Russie représente le sommet de la
   carrière de Gustave Doré comme caricaturiste et narrateur.
   C'est aussi la plus contradictoire de ses productions,
   puisqu'il s'agit à la fois d'une farce énorme et, par delà
   la distorsion et la dérision, d'un pamphlet aux fisées
   patriotiques sérieuses." -- English summary (from page
   139): "From the Crimean War to the New Cold War. L'Histoire
   de la Sainte Russie, released in 1854, was to be Gustave
   Doré's last album. Basing his work on the writings of
   historians of his time, he represents the Russians as a
   cruel and bloodthirsty people and their history as a series
   of massacres. While the album was being created, French
   troops were engaged in battle against the Russian army in
   the Crimea, but it was released just as peace negotiations
   began. These circumstances explain its lack of success.
   However, it is the only album of Doré's to have been
   republished several times during the 20th century. David
   Kunzle shows how this is related to Cold War ideology. --
