An album in large format containing ten coloured lithographs based on the Song of Songs.

In addition there are two title pages and tables of contents, one in Russian and one in Hebrew. Seven of the 15 copy edition, contain an additional page in Hebrew while in the other eight this page is in Russian. The fifteen sheets are held in a cardboard folder with a linen spine.
