Russia Nightingale Guy Warneford Royal Munster
Photographs of the North Russian Relief Force. April 1919 to October 1919. General H. deV. Sadleir-Jackson's Brigade." Approximately 100 snapshots mounted and captioned in ink. Typed order bearing the ink stamp "Russian Relief Force" dated 9 September 1919 laid down
1919. Photographs measuring 6 x 4 inches and smaller. 1 vols. Oblong 8vo 8 3/4 x 6 1/2 inches. Contemporary gray cloth ms. title to upper board upper joint wearing but holding nicely. Photographs measuring 6 x 4 inches and smaller. 1 vols. Oblong 8vo 8 3/4 x 6 1/2 inches. RARE PHOTOGRAPHS OF THE NORTH RUSSIAN RELIEF FORCE 1919. A rare survival from a distinguished World War One veteran. Born in India Nightingale was educated at Rugby and Sandhurst and joined the Royal Fusiliers in 1910. He survived the landing on V beach Cape Helles Gallipoli April 25th 1915 and the following year he was awarded both the Military Cross and the Legion D'Honneur for his services. <br/>Nightingale subsequently served with the 46th Battalion Royal Fusiliers in the North Russian Relief Force part of the invasion of Russia by the English Irish and the Americans. The operation was conducted under the command of General H. de V. Sadleir-Jackson.<br/>Arriving in Archangel on 5 June 1919 the 46th proceeded along the Dvina River to Osinova where preparations were made for an attack on rail and river transport. The objective was to repel the Red Army from their established positions and generally improve the position of the White Russian forces. The hope was that the NRRF would be able to subsequently withdraw without significant casualties. In addition smaller raids on Red Army positions were carried out to the south partly to destabilize them partly as reconnaissance. Nightingale was in command of the Borok Column on the right bank of the Dvina River for the August 10 offensive.<br/>The first photos are of the H.M.T. "War Summit" & H.M.T. "Pretorian" chugging through the Arctic Ocean and White Sea in Midsummer June 1919 on its way to Archangel. They were billeted at Troitsa and among the many images of the town and its surroundings is one of where the mutiny of Dyer's Battalion took place. Equally there are shots of Russian batteries Allied defenses company headquarters and regimental aid posts as well as images of the Dvina River Yaroslovskoe and Selso. A page is devoted to "Col. Davies Headquarters at Commencement of Action Aug 10th" and shows how the British troops organized themselves in the Selmenga Forest namely with three shots of "Piccadilly Circus Selmenga Forest with Shaftesbury Avenue and Regent Street."<br/>The attack commenced at noon and despite the difficulty of the terrain was successful. We know that Borok Nightingale's objective was reported captured along with 80 POWs by eleven o'clock that evening. Nightingale was evacuated in late September.<br/>This is not only a record of the battle but includes many poignant personal touches too. Namely there are several shots of men with whom he served and the Russians with whom he stayed. The captions not only name the men in each photograph but in many cases reveal their fate: "Lt Taylor killed Aug 10th Lt Grant wounded Aug 1st Capt. Driver killed Aug 10th."<br/>The album also includes a typed order - dated September 9 1919 - which is a reminder that despite the success of the August attack the Russian Civil War was ongoing and would ultimately be won by the Bolsheviks. "You will send one platoon to SELMENGA to hold the SELMENGA BRIDGE and the beach road to GORODOK. The enemy are known to be in force in the vicinity of BOROK and GORODOK and may attempt an outflanking movement . The platoon remain in position there and will withdraw when Captain de Miremont with the GORODOK Infantry comes through there tonight . The Platoon should form a right flank guard to Captain de Miremont from SALMENGA to PLESS."<br/>The photographs of Russia occupy the first half of the album the rest is devoted to Nightingale's time in Ireland with the 7th Cadet Battalion. Despite his distinguished service in the military Nightingale's fate was a melancholy one. He died in 1935 reportedly either by suicide using his own revolver of from alcoholism. unknown books

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.
