Life

Rowinski completed his law studies in 1844, and from 1853 he worked as a governor's attorney in Moscow. As Adelsdeputierter the city Zvenigorod , he contributed to the liberation of the Russian serfs. He became an attorney at the newly formed Moscow Supreme Court in 1866 and President of the Moscow Supreme Court in 1868. In 1870 he became an honorary member of the St. Petersburg Academy of Arts, and in 1881 a corresponding member of the St. Petersburg Academy of Sciences. For years Rowinski collected drawings, graphics and caricatures about Russia and the politics of the European powers all over Europe. From 1884 to 1891 he published these graphics as materials for a Russian iconography in twelve folders in a few copies. Today only three known copies of this collection exist. They are in London , Moscow and - for several years - in Halle (Saale) .

In 2006, all drawings of the “materials” were published with comments by the Halle church historian Hermann Goltz .
