Ca. 1910-1914.‎

‎<p>202 loose phototypes each ca. 182x253 cm 7 ¼ x 10 in. 32 phototypes with period ink or pencil captions on the verso a couple of prints dated. Several phototypes with fold marks and minor tears at the edges one phototype rubbed but otherwise a very good collection.</p><p>Historically significant collection of early phototypes produced during the construction of the Central Section of the Amur Railway and showing newly built railway stations major construction activities convict workers penal infrastructure and emerging towns along the route.</p><p>The Amur Railway 1908–1916 a 2144-kilometer segment of the Trans-Siberian route was initiated under Tsar Nicholas II to link the Russian Far East with the rest of the empire. The railway consisted of four sections with its Central Section 1910–1914 stretching from Station Kerak to the River Bureya. The project introduced unprecedented mechanization for Russia at the time employing American trucks buses and steam-powered excavators. Due to the extremely harsh conditions much of the work was carried out by prisoners. In total over 54000 hired laborers and convicts took part in the construction. The line played a crucial role in consolidating Russia’s presence in the Far East—and remains in active use today.</p><p>The collection features 202 large-size phototypes illustrating the construction of the greater part of the Central Section of the Amur Railway. The plates show ten railway stations in Taldan general view a passenger building & nearby church Gonzha general view a water storage building & nearby mineral spring Magdagachi general view a passenger building depot workshop a nearby church & street view Tygda general view brewery Ushuman general view a passenger building depot a nearby church & communal houses Tu communal houses Chernyavo communal houses & sawmills Gondatti general view a passenger building meteorological station communal houses horse yard garage for postal and automobile service water storage buildung Ledyanaya general view and Alekseevsk a passenger building treasury church communal houses.</p><p>About fifteen excellent group phototypes portray both hired laborers and convict workers at excavation sites in quarries and near barracks or work camps along the route. The prisoners often in patched clothing are shown loading ballast digging cuts or resting at camp under police surveillance. A particularly notable series depicts the “Sokolovsky Stan” convict camp at the 20th verst of the Chernyaev branch. Laborers from this camp were deployed under especially challenging weather/geographical conditions.</p><p>Over sixty well-executed images illustrate various construction activities including “rock cutting” “water source surveying” and “track ballasting.” Early work equipment like shovels narrow-gauge tipper carts horse-drawn wagons trucks ballast trains and hand-operated drilling rigs is clearly visible.</p><p>The collection also includes about ten excellent views of Alekseevsk today’s Svobodny a town founded in 1912 during the construction of the Amur Railway and later known as a major Soviet labor camp. The images include a general view of the town the office and residence of the town manager a two-class school of Priamursky Governor-General Nikolay Gondatti the post office treasury pier and a children’s shelter established by the Central Amur Railway Charitable Committee. One interesting scene shows children from the railway orphanage sitting on the shelter’s steps with their teacher and a military man.</p><p>There are also six early views of the villages Gondattievo present-day Shimanovsk and Alekseevsk now part of Svobodny featuring general views and a pier with cargo ships docked.</p><p>The rest of the plates mostly show railway block posts Burinda Chagany Gudachi Sivaki Selitkan Belogorye and Belonogovo steal & temporary wooden bridges rail tracks & trams workers in local workshops etc.</p><p>Overall historically significant extensive collection documenting the construction of the Central Section of the Amur Railway.</p> hardcover‎

‎RUSSIA; St Petersburg - MORNAY (illus.)‎

‎A Picture of St. Petersburgh‎

‎London: Printed for Edward Orme 1815. Magnificent hand-coloured views of St Petersburg First edition "one of the most beautiful plate books of St Petersburg" Bobins Collection offering a wonderfully evocative picture of the city in the wake of the Napoleonic Wars issued during the lifetime of one of its most famous inhabitants Alexander Pushkin. Published at 6 guineas coloured this is a superb record of the city of Peter the Great and is divided into two sections: the first 12 plates represent the months of the year through characteristic views of the city; the other 8 illustrate different modes of transport various types of sledges and carriages but include excellent character studies showing diverse types of costume by class and by season. The 26-page introduction entitled "The present state of St Petersburgh" includes a brief historical survey and a few statistics along with descriptions of the main sites and monuments. "Though unsigned the letterpress was chiefly compiled from Robert Ker Porter's Travelling Sketches in Russia and Sweden during the years 1805-1808 as many sections repeat his text verbatim" Giroud p.72. Mornay the artist responsible for the original sketches upon which Clark and Dubourg's aquatints were based eludes identification and does not appear in Thieme-Becker. Martin Hardie in characteristically waspish fashion describes the plates as "lurid in colouring very much in the style of toy theatre scenery" English Coloured Books 1906 p. 138; this is entirely unfair the colouring in the present copy is certainly not "lurid" and the "toy theatre" quality of the views only lends them a most appealing charm: many of them are composed in such a way that they resemble vues d'optiques - symmetrical and theatrical middle-distance perspectives - which combine well with the small scaling figures staffage adding splashes of bright colour against backgrounds of snowy streets grey skies and yellowish-brown buildings of this "city of stone" forming a satisfyingly picturesque effect. Two of the buildings shown - the Exchange 1809 and the Kazan Cathedral 1811 - had only recently been completed. Edward Orme - "Publisher to His Majesty and HRH the Prince Regent" - was "after Rudolph Ackermann the most important publisher of illustrated books during the short golden age of the coloured aquatint" ODNB. He would have had a prudent eye on the visit of the Allied sovereigns to London in June 1814 which celebrated the Treaty of Fontainebleau 11 April 1814 and the peace following the defeat and abdication of Napoleon. Among them was Tsar Alexander I who stayed with his sister the Grand Duchess of Oldenburg at the Pulteney Hotel on Piccadilly. "In 1809 Edward Orme had begun buying land and property in Bayswater London. He exploited the gravel deposits built houses and in 1818 added a chapel of ease. Orme Square developed between 1823 and 1826 was named after him and Moscow Road and St Petersburgh Place nearby may have commemorated the state visit of Tsar Alexander I in June 1814. In the following year he published a volume of twenty coloured aquatint views of St Petersburg and the reference in his will to jewellery presented to him by the emperor of Russia may be connected with these events" ibid. This is a marvellous survey of one of the world's great cities captured at the time when it served as the backdrop for Tolstoy's War and Peace. Folio 469 x 310 mm. Additional engraved title page incorporating a large double-headed Russian eagle 20 hand-coloured aquatint plates by Clark & Dubourg after Mornay; watermarks: plates J. Whatman 1825 text W.

The Nakaz or Instruction is a statement of legal principles written by Catherine II between 1764 and 1766. It was among her most ambitious and significant undertakings. Infused with the ideas of the French Enlightenment and copied mostly from the work of Voltaire Montesquieu and Beccaria it was compiled as a guide for the All- Russia Legislative Commission convened by the Empress in 1767 to create a new code to replace the 1649 Muscovite Code. Revised in consultation with Frederick the Great and Voltaire the Instruction proclaimed the equality of all men before the law and denounced torture and the death penalty. Unfortunately her proposed code was never completed. The first two editions one with parallel texts in Russian and German were published in 1767.
