1815rif. 120459London: 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.

Bound in contemporary polished calf rebacked preserving original spine corners bumped light wear. Complete with the two engraved portraits of Charles Howard First Earl of Carlisle 1628-1685 and Tzar Aleksey Mikhaylovich 1629-1676 just shaved at fore-edge. Title a little dusty clean tear to margin of Z1 not entering the text. Fine. First edition of this eyewitness account of the official English embassy to Russia written by Guy Miege under-secretary to the English ambassador Charles Howard Earl of Carlisle. The book provides a fascinating window on the intricacies of Russian diplomatic protocols ceremonial customs and the hospitality bestowed upon high-ranking foreign dignitaries at the Russian court. "Carlisle's main responsibilities were to reciprocate the honor that Tzar Aleksey Mikhaylovich had shown to King Charles II in sending his diplomats to London as well as to build the promising momentum in their relationship by negotiating the trade privileges that the English hoped to restore. It can safely be concluded that Carlisle's diplomatic mission resulted in a great failure. Ceremonial disputes and diverging economic interests precipitated a decline in Anglo-Russian relations and left the two monarchies in a state of mutual resentment."Hennings Guy Miege obtained appointment as under-secretary to Charles Howard Earl of Carlisle in his embassy to Muscovy Sweden and Denmark and in July 1663 joined an entourage that included Andrew Marvell as chief secretary. With Carlisle's express permission Miege wrote an account of the journey subsequently published as 'A Relation of Three Embassies' 1669 which is both an attempted vindication of the ambassador's conduct in the face of Russian criticism and a lively source of impressions of Russian society and culture. He considered Muscovy a beautiful country but found its inhabitants in contrast to the Swedes coarse austere and ignorant of learning. Exhibiting a characteristic commitment to Protestantism and to constitutional monarchy he was not impressed by a religion 'that obliges its Professors to severe mortification' or by icons 'very ill-drawn and in flat painting' and dismissed a monarchy that was 'despotical and absolute' But like most 17th c. Englishmen Miege respected Russian military prowess." ODNB For a detailed account and analysis of the embassy and its repercussions see Hennings "Russia and Courtly Europe" p. 139-159. For another discussion see Dukes Herd and Kotilaine "Stuarts and Romanovs" p. 105-113. printed for John Starkey hardcover
