réf. 109898St. Petersburg Lithographic Department of the Military Settlement 1835. . First edition small folio 31 x 22 cm; lithographic title and 10 unnumbered coloured by contemporary hand title soiled at foot where mark of ownership erased bottom corners of leaves with very light staining pl. 7 with printed Russian caption and early manuscript German translation; contemporary green Russian morocco upper cover lettered in gilt both covers with elaborate panelling in gilt and blind flat spine in gilt panels gilt turn-ins blue endpapers gilt edges extremities rubbed tiny split in joint at head of spine a fine copy. Remarkably fine series of hand-coloured prints of military costumes after Paul I in an exceptional contemporary Russian binding. The book was printed at the personal bequest of his son Tsar Nicholas I in an incredibly small edition. The short reign of Paul I ended with his murder in 1801 and was marked by his obsession with dress uniforms. All ten of the figures in this rare suite are drawn in the same posture at attention with arms firmly clasped to sides and though this gives them a slightly doll-like quality they are painstakingly and beautifully coloured by a contemporary hand. Nicholas I viewed his father with deep reverence and also admired the pomp and order of the Imperial army this publication was an attempt to honour his father's legacy.

réf. 85645mid. XIX c. . Original watercolour 23 x 29 cm. Mounted and framed. This charming watercolour shows a group of four Russian workmen in front of semi-derelict barracks. The expressions and gestures of the figures endow the work with life and character as three men leaning on long staffs dressed in heavy coats with high hats of fur or wool turn to glare at a passing official in braided coat who gingerly raises his peaked cap in response. The work is both a delightful study of local costumes in nineteenth century Russia and a window into the life of the lower classes in the Empire at the time. [mid. XIX c.]. unknown
réf. 94903Russia 1866. . 4to 23 x 185 cm. Illuminated manuscript on paper ff. 4 index 4 blank 344 17 lines per page alphabetic signatures and pagination of Cyrillic alphabetic numerals 35 full-page illuminations in watercolour 36 headpieces in black and gold with first lines in gilt; occasional light spotting and soiling mostly marginal. Contemporary gilt-stamped red morocco gilt spine with raised bands edges gilt and gauffered gilt endpapers; slightly rubbed lacking both clasps. An exceptionally fine example of an Old Believer liturgical book beautifully illustrated with 35 full-page illuminations. Created by a skilful master they depict in great detail the most significant events of the New Testament including the Annunciation the Nativity the Baptism of Christ the Ascension the Twelve Apostles and more. This volume was made for and used by Old Believers who separated from the official Russian Orthodox Church as a protest against church reforms introduced by Patriarch Nikon of Moscow between 1652 and 1666. These Old Believers refused to accept alterations and amendments to the Holy texts aimed at bringing their religious practice closer to the 'original' Greek Orthodoxy. They refused to allow sacred texts to be printed instead reproducing them as manuscripts. The large size of this book its high-quality paper neat script very detailed illuminations and attractive gilt binding prove beyond doubt that no expense was spared on its production. As the colophon indicates it was made for Evdokiia Ivanovna Babaeva the wife of a merchant in Kolomna which was then an important trade point near Moscow. There are records of several men with this surname in Kolomna during the mid-XIX century all of them owners of factories in the city and probably members of the same wealthy merchant family. Kolomna was also important as a centre of the Old Believer community. The city's Bishop Paul fiercely opposed Patriarch Nikon's reforms and was consequently stripped of the rank of Bishop exiled and eventually killed in 1656 rendering him a martyr in the view of many Old Believers.A century later 156 Old Believers were officially registered in Kolomna then a city of 5400 inhabitants. Many more practised their beliefs in secret to avoid persecution. This volume later belonged to Cornelius J. Hauck 1893-1967 whose outstanding and somewhat eclectic collection was formed with the help of the well-respected antiquarian bookseller Emil Offenbacher between 1945 and 1965. The collection was given to the Cincinnati Historical Society Library in 1966 where it remained largely unknown to the world until part of it was auctioned by Christie's in New York in 2006. Russian manuscripts of this quality and preserved in such pristine condition are extremely rare. S.S. Mikhailov Istoriya staroobriadchestva g.

1916réf. 055715Saint 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. Imprimerie Militaire paperback
