Russia - Blaeu, Willem J (1571 - 1638)
Russiae Vulgo Moscovia dictae Pars Occidentalis. Auctore Isaaco Massa.
1664. Amsterdam Blaeu c.1664. Original hand-coloured engraving. Plate Size: 48.7 cm x 38.6 cm. Sheet Size: 65.2 cm x 55.7 cm. Original map. In very good clean condition. Wide margins. Latin text on reverse. Koeman II 1803:2. From: J. Blaeus Grooten Atlas oft Werelt- Beschryving in welcke 't Aerdryck de Zee en Hemel wort vertoont en beschreven. Amsterdam J. Blaeu 1664. Van der Krogt 2 621. Beautiful map of mid-17th Century Russia published during the reign of Tsar Alexis of Russia of the Romanov Dynasty as Moscow vied for regional hegemony with the PolishLithuanian Commonwealth and Sweden. 'Mosqua' Moscow is in the lower right corner. Smolesnsk is just squeezed in within the maps lower border. Novogorod can be seen just below the outflow of Lake Ilmen. In the upper left lies Estonia and the Gulf of Finland. Below this is the 'Livonia' region which is now between Latvia and Estonia. The regions listed as 'Ingria' and 'Careliae Pars' on the map were then under the control of the Swedes. The Russians would eventually seize this territory and dominance of the Baltic and build their new capital St. Petersburg there. This lay in the future. The map's political delineation shows the westward extent of Moscow's reach. 'Lithva' in the lower left of the map was then within the territory of Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth. This region is now modern-day Belarus: 'Witespk' is now the Belarussian city of Viciebsk. Relief depicted pictorially and the historic place-names are in Latin. The cathedral cities such as Pereslaw Pereslavl-Zalessky and Ieroslaw Yaroslavl and Pseskow/Pskouwa Pskov are depicted. With numerous deers and foxes seen across the map the mapmaker indicates that this is a vast region still untamed. In the 'Megrina' province the mapmaker shows a bear-hunt at its deadly denouement. The map is covered with forested areas and vast waterways such as the Volga and Volkhov and Daugava/Dvina 'Duna flu' Dnieper Boristenis Flu rivers and a patchwork of lakes such as Lake Peipus and 'Biela Osera' Rybinsk Reservoir. Large decorative title cartouche accompanied with busts of moose and deer in the left top corner of the map. The eagles of the Russian coat of arms look east and west from the top right corner of the map. In the lower left corner an ornate cartouche contains two milliaria bar scales. Blaeu as it is noted on the cartouche based the map on the travels and maps of Isaac Massa. Isaac Abrahamszoon Massa 1586 - 1643 was a Dutch grain trader traveller and diplomat the envoy to Muscovy. He wrote memoirs related to the Time of Troubles and created some of the earliest maps of Eastern Europe and Siberia. Massa in Moscow witnessed the second half of Boris Godunov's reign during which a civil war broke out now known as the Time of Troubles. He survived the capture of Moscow by False Dmitriy I and left Russia in 1609 before the fall of Tsar Vasily Shuysky. Massa compiled an account of the 16011609 events Dutch: Een cort Verhael van Begin en Oorspronk deser tegenwoordighe Oorloogen en troeblen in Moscovia totten jare 1610 which he presented to Stadtholder Maurice. In 16121613 Massa published two articles on Russian events and the geography of the Land of Samoyeds accompanied by a map of Russia which were published in an almanac edited by Hessel Gerritsz. His notes on his various travels have been published in conjunction with maps made by the explorer Henry Hudson. Massa is credited with five published maps of Russia and its provinces the last ones compiled around 1633 and two maps of Moscow city including the schematic account of the 1606 battle between Vasily Shuysky and Ivan Bolotnikov's armies. He returned to Russia in 1614 and became an active agent in a myriad of diplomatic and commercial schemes and endeavours between Western states and companies and Moscow. Massa a wealthy and prominent man of the world has been the subject of several portraits by Dutch painter Frans Hals. Wikipedia Willem Janszoon Blaeu 1571-1638 was a Dutch cartographer atlas maker and publisher. Along with his son Johannes Blaeu Willem is considered one of the notable figures of the Netherlandish/Dutch school of cartography in its golden age the 16th and 17th centuries. Blaeu set up his mapmaking and publishing business in Amsterdam where he sold instruments and globes published maps and edited the works of intellectuals like Descartes and Hugo Grotius. In 1633 he was appointed map-maker of the Dutch East India Company. In 1635 he released his atlas Theatrum Orbis Terrarum sive Atlas novus. Willem died in 1638. He had two sons Cornelis 1610-1648 and Johannes 1596-1673. Joan trained as a lawyer but joined his father's business rather than practice. After his father's death the brothers took over their father's shop and Joan took on his work as hydrographer to the Dutch East India Company. Later in life Joan would modify and greatly expand his father's Atlas novus eventually releasing his masterpiece the Atlas maior between 1662 and 1672. Wikipedia unknown

CHINESE IN RUSSIA
Cabinet card showing two Chinese women.
Vladivostok: Livay Studio No. 11 Svetlanskaya Street c.1890. A scarce late 19th-century record of styles of clothing and foot-binding followed by well-to-do Chinese women in the Russian border city of Vladivostok. The Livay photographic studio catered specifically to Chinese residents and visitors and we have not been able to trace any other surviving examples of its work. Following China's transfer of the Haishenwei region to the Tsar in 1860 Vladivostok became a thriving centre of economic activity and cultural interchange between Russians and Chinese with both of these communities served by the Livay studio based on the city's main boulevard. This photograph is a pleasing corrective to the many surviving photographs of late-imperial Chinese women often produced in cities such as Shanghai which adopt an orientalizing gaze. While photography was introduced into Russia soon after its invention it remained a preserve of the very wealthy until the 1860s when technological changes fuelled an explosion in the number of photographic studios in major cities. "In the hands of commercial studio photographers the medium retained its original social function namely "to solemnize and to immortalize" the portrayed subject. The studio photograph was an index and a means of communicating one's status; it indicated the sitter's place in the social hierarchy both as a commodity object and as information. But more importantly photography dominated the market for portraiture and democratized visual self-representation. It captured people from across the social spectrum and brought about a visual levelling whereby the social benefits and drawbacks of this type of publicity was showered equally on kings nobles lawyers merchants and cobblers. Photography as a mechanized medium of self-representation pulled members of different social class onto the same visual level in the public sphere" Stolarski pp. 4-5. Cabinet card 164 x 108 mm mounted gelatine photograph 140 x 103 mm with glossy finish card lettered in red in Russian and Chinese. Small scuff to upper right corner of photograph image substantially unaffected couple of faint stains to card verso skinned where sometime mounted. A very good example.

PAUL I, tsar of Russia
Reglement de sa Majesté Imperiale concernant le Service de l'Infanterie.
St Petersburg: A l'Academie Imperiale des Sciences 1798. First and only edition. Single location on WorldCat at BL KVK adds a copy in the Austrian National Library lacking 2 plates; and copies in the Zentralbibliothek der Bundeswehr Düsseldorf and Universitäts- und Landesbibliothek Sachsen-Anhalt Halle. Decidedly uncommon infantry manual for the Imperial Russian Army from the brief reign of Tsar Paul I r.1796-1801. Paul had travelled extensively in Europe and had developed a taste for French and Italian architecture and Prussian military practice taking immense pleasure in rigidly drilling his private brigade of troops in the Versailles-inspired grounds of his estate at Gatchina. When he ascended the throne he attempted to remodel the army along Prussian lines introducing entirely impractical uniforms a regime of elaborate ceremonials and parades and as shown here the implementation of rigourous regulations and drill. The present manual was directly translated into French from its Prussian equivalent the words of command also being given in phonetically rendered Russian. Paul was assassinated by a group of disaffected army officers after just 4 years on the throne. Octavo 196 x 110 mm. 13 folding plates at the rear; somewhat erratically numbered no plate 1 2 plans numbered 4 but apparently complete. Recent mottled sheep-backed marbled boards by G. Gauché Paris red morocco label gilt rules to the spine. Spine lightly sunned light soiling to the title page pale toning to the text-block throughout overall very good. hardcover

GENERAL MAYEWSKI (Consul general de Russie a Van puis a Erzeroum).
ARMENIANS / PROPAGANDA Les massacres d'Armenie.
Saint Petersburg: Imprimerie Militaire 1916. 1st Edition . Soft cover. Very Good. 8vo - over 7¾ - 9¾" tall. Original wrappers. Roy. 8vo. 24 x 16 cm. Bilingual text in Russian photographic reproduction and translation in French. 96 p. Occasionally light foxing on the cover. Otherwise in good condition. Rare first edition in book form of this report attributed to Russian consul Mayewski in Bitlis and Van in 1912 titled "Statistique des Provinces de Van et de Bitlis". The report was written in Russian by Vladimir Teofilovich Mayevski a former Russian general consul in East Anatolia and this is the first edition in book form published in St. Petersburg including a parallel text of Russian fragments and French translation. The report allegedly written by the Russian consul regarding the Armenian events that arose in Eastern Anatolia due to the Armenian question that started at the end of the 19th century and the nationalist approach of the Etchmiadzin Church to the issue documents the massacres committed by Armenian atrocities and organizations like Dashnaksutyun against the Muslim population in the region. The content of this rare book is controversial and may have been written for propaganda purposes during its period. <br/> <br/> Imprimerie Militaire paperback

[CZARIST RUSSIA BOND]
Unsigned Printed Bond for 189 Roubles Twenty pounds Sterling
issued by the City of Moscow in 1908 with coupons text in both English and Russian folio with attractive vignette at the head of a knight slaying a Dragon Moscow At the end of the 19th century Europe lived under the law of alliances. As Germany and Russia move away Saint Petersburg and Paris get closer. Russia needed money and France needed friends to face the Triplice Germany Austria and Italy. "Slovophily" turns into hysteria. In 1888 Moscow issued four loans of 500 million gold francs under the blessing of the French public authorities. The Franco-Russian Alliance of 1891 ensured the success of the loans which multipled. Savers then rushed to the bank counters to show their patriotism and lend to Alexander III we will even build a bridge in Paris over the Seine that bears his name and then to Nicolas II and the City of Moscow. In 1904 the Russo-Japanese war caused panic but the banks were reassuring though after the October Revolution Lenin decided to stop recognising the debts of the old regime. unknown

[CZARIST RUSSIA BOND]
Unsigned Printed Bond for 2000 German Reichsmarks
Imperial Government of Russia 4% State Loan of 1902 bond issued by virtue of the Imperial Ukase of the 1st March 1902 to realise the contribution due to Russia in compensation for the "loses incurred in consequence of the Chinese disorders." the Boxer Rebellion "the annual payments to exactly correspond with the annual payments of interest and amortisation of the part of the contribution due to Russia which China engaged to pay in virtue of the Edict of the Chinese Empoer of of the 29th May 1901." folio A consortium of Russian German and Dutch banking and financial institutions were involved in the administration of this loan and payment of interest against coupons was paid from 18th June-1st July and from 19th December-1st January at various locations. An interesting anomaly is the denomination of the bond which is stated in Reichsmarks. The Reichsmark was not formally adopted as the German currency until 1924. The bonds were negotiable and accepted as security for Government contracts for deferred excise duties and for payment of customs duties at prices to be fixed half-yearly which would be not less than 90% of the face value of the bonds. The Boxer Rebellion in China had been followed by the combined military expedition of the powers to the Relief of Peking in which the US shared and the exaction of a huge indemnity of which the States relinquished nearly half of its share as in excess of the actual losses. The US protested against Russian demands upon China and actively participated in the negotiations which resulted in Russia's agreement to evacuate Manchuria. Russian delays and their policy have led Japan to declare war Secretary of State Hay's diplomacy was influential in limiting the zone of hostilities and the good offices of President Theodore Roosevelt brought about the conference between the two powers at Portsmouth N.H. which terminated hostilities. unknown
