Dear Seelangers,
In our glass collection we have a number of pieces made in the first half of the
nineteenth century in honor of Russian victories in the Napoleonic wars.
Several
objects are marked with the phrase "Likui Moskva v parizhe Ross vziat 19 marta
1814." A Russian woman who recently saw one of these objects observed that
the phrase was very familiar and thought that it was a line from a poem. Does
this ring a bell for anyone else? Also, can someone suggest how this could be
best
rendered in English?
Thanks in advance,
Karen Kettering
