RG or anyone else--what's out there in terms of pictures of Raymonda's original production?

Grigorovich's "Authorized Book of Bolshoi's Raymonda" (translated to English in 1987) has lots of pics of old Moscow productions but not St Petersburg. I've seen one photograph of Legnani and Legat in their Act III "Hongroise" costumes posed. And I also have the Moscow Symphone 2 CD recording of the original score which uses as its cover a scene design by K Ivanov for St Petersburg--I assume it must be the design for Act III in the original production. This is the the link to the cd where you can see the image http://www.amazon.com/Glazunov-Raymonda/dp...6390&sr=8-3

The image on the CD is the design for Act II - Cour d'amour.

if mem. serves reproductions of designs for 1898 RAYMONDA are spotty. the odd book, some in russian, reproduces this or that scene. sometimes in color sometimes in black-and-white.
i don't know that i've seen any/many costume sketches.
