réf. 42350issued 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
réf. 42351Imperial 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

réf. 55202Irkutsk or Vladivostok: Litografie Inf.-osv. odboru Äsl. vojska na Rusi 1919 or 1920. Postcard 14.3 × 9.5 cm with chromolithograph illustration signed "P" and text "Dopisnice/Pochtovaia kartochka" in Czech and Russian. Unused; very light crease to corner; else very good. Lithographed postcard by Vojtěch Preissig 1873-1944 issued by Czechoslovak Legion soldiers who fought alongside the White Army in Siberia after WWI and controlled large stretches of the Transsiberian Railroad from 1918-19. By 1919 the Legion soldiers retreated further eastward alongside Kolchak's army while transporting the bulk of the Imperial gold reserves for the Whites. In 1920 the Czechoslovak Legion was gradually evacuated by ship from Vladivostok and over 60.000 soldiers returned to the Czechoslovak Republic. Despite the precarious conditions the Legion issued a daily newspaper using a printing press on board the train as well as numerous brochures books as well as handwritten lithographed bulletins printed in small print runs. During longer stops such as during their time in Vladivostok a printer's shop was set up outside the train and the operations significantly expanded. Preissig was an important Secessionist painter graphic artist and book designer who worked with Alfons Mucha among others. In the 1910s he taught art in the United States at the Art Students' League and Columbia University as well in Boston. While still abroad Preissig met future Czechoslovak president T. G. Masaryk and became involved in the independence movement which he supported graphically by designing posters and postcards. He returned to Prague in 1931 establishing himself not only as a leading typographer and book designer but also as a pioneering abstract artist. Following the German Occupation of Czechoslovakia Preissig became involved in the resistance editing and designing an illegal journal. He was arrested and died at Dachau in 1944. unknown
