"The house where I was born belonged to our family for several generations. It was...much too large even for our big family. The house was situated on a large public square, facing two churches. ...Every Saturday there was a bazaar where peasants brought and sold their products. The ...view from our windows...was a source of entertainment and [a] never forgotten delight of my earlier years. I still have a picture by a certain artist Koulikov [sic] painted from the window of our house, of the square...on Saturday Bazaar Day." --Vladimir K. Zworykin, Autobiography (manuscript, 1977), pp. 1-2.
