1816ref. 002325Milano: Tipografia Sonzogno e Comp 1816. First Edition thus. Wraps. Very Good. 12mo. 18 by 11 cm. Five volumes. With 22 plates most hand-colored. This is the first Italian version of Pallas' travels to Russia. The costume plates are richly colored and lovely. The leaves have a nice rag content and are thus quite clean even uncommonly so compared to most Italian publications of the early nineteenth century. The work is complete as of itself; it is a part of a larger series of travel journals translated into Italian at the time. In this series this book constitutes Tomo XIII. This copy has the original wraps. These have creases and soiling. Still they can be regarded as well-preserved and of interest from the perspective of publishing practices of the era.
