Two vertically oriented rectangular informational posters are displayed side-by-side on a dark brown, horizontally planked wooden wall in Estosadok, Russia. The wooden wall exhibits a weathered texture with visible grain and slight gaps between planks. Each poster features a light green-yellow border and presents grids of photographs depicting traditional Russian carved wooden window frames, known as *nalichniki*, along with explanatory text in Russian. The poster on the left is titled "ИЖЕВСК" (Izhevsk) in prominent red Cyrillic script. Its upper section contains a 3x3 grid of nine square photographs, each showcasing a distinct, intricately carved white *nalichnik* set against brightly painted wooden house walls (yellow, light blue, or natural wood tones). The carvings display a variety of patterns, including geometric, floral, and crown-like motifs. The middle section provides descriptive Russian text about Izhevsk's *nalichniki*, highlighting their characteristic white color, abundant lace-like carving, and lower windowsill parts featuring comb or brush-like overhangs (two to nine per frame), with a narrowed central section reminiscent of Udmurt folk costume. Below the title are two small logos: "Наличники.com" and "Моя РОССИЯ" (My RUSSIA). The bottom section of this poster displays three additional horizontal photographs of white carved *nalichniki* against yellow and blue wooden backgrounds. The poster on the right is titled "ИРКУТСК" (Irkutsk) in prominent red Cyrillic script. Its upper section features a 3x3 grid of nine square photographs, each illustrating a uniquely carved *nalichnik*. These frames are typically painted in more subdued colors such as green, brown, pale pink, beige, and light blue, and several include open or closed paneled shutters. The carvings display influences of classical or baroque styles with curved pediments and elaborate decorations. The middle section contains descriptive Russian text about Irkutsk's *nalichniki*, emphasizing them as works of art where local artisans blended Baroque and Classical canons with folk traditions, resulting in exquisite designs of impressive size—up to two-meter windows with nearly three-meter *nalichniki* featuring high-level bas-relief carving and muted colors. Similar to the Izhevsk poster, it includes "Наличники.com" and "Моя РОССИЯ" logos. The bottom section of this poster presents three horizontal photographs of carved *nalichniki* with shutters, rendered in muted colors like pale yellow, light blue, and teal. No individuals are present in the scene. The lighting is uniform, suggesting an indirect light source.
