1798132180St 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
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.<br /> 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.<br /> [St. Petersburg], Lithographic Department of the Military Settlement, 1835. unknown

1896147804Kiev 1896. Rare portfolio of photographs by G. Lazovsky depicting the coronation of Tsar Nicholas II. Quarto original publisher's blue cloth with black and silver titles and tooling to the front panel 31 albumen prints on card mounts with the embossed blind stamp of the photographer and the mounts captioned in Cyrillic with printed slips each image 6.25 inches by 9.125 inches. The series of photographs in this album cover the coronation festivities from the 10th to the 26th of May 1896. Only two of the images are from the Coronation day itself the 12th which are of the procession as there was likely no photography in the cathedral where the coronation proper was held. Portfolio in very good condition. Photographs in near fine condition. The piece measures 10 inches by 13.75 inches. Housed in a custom half morocco clamshell box. We have never seen another set. The coronation of Tsar Nicholas II took place on May 26 1896 May 14 Old Style in the Dormition Cathedral within the Kremlin Moscow. As the last Emperor of Russia Nicholas II’s coronation was a grand and highly ritualized event symbolizing the divine right of the monarchy. The ceremony followed traditional Orthodox customs including anointment with holy oil and the placing of the Imperial Crown on his own head signifying his supreme authority. However the event was overshadowed by the Khodynka Tragedy where over a thousand people died in a stampede during public celebrations. This disaster foreshadowed the instability of his reign which ultimately ended with the fall of the Russian Empire in 1917. hardcover

1801J4AL0ZX7PQRKSt Petersburg: Imperial Printing Office 1801. Loose bifolia and 1 singleton leaf never sewn or bound. Folio 29.5 x 21.5 cm. Treaty between Russia and Prussia in Russian and French in 2 parallel columns in cyrillic left and roman right types each with incidental italic. With a decorated rule built up from cast units. Rare first and only edition in Russian and French of a defensive alliance concluded at St Petersburg between Tsar Pavel I of Russia and King Friedrich Wilhelm III of Prussia on 28 July 1800 16 July by the Julian calendar used in Russia until the Revolution revising that concluded on 27 July/7 August 1792 following the Polish-Russian War. The 1792 treaty allied was drawn up when the parties were subjugating the once great and powerful Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth dissolved with its third partition in 1795. Nine months after Napoleon seized power in a coup d'état these allies faced a much more dangerous foe. In spite of the greatly different political and military context the treaty largely repeated the XIV articles of the 1792 treaty but added a new article VIII concerning the governance and provisioning of the army and revised articles I VII XXII-XIV this last group becoming XXIII-XV. We have found no other copy outside the Russian State Library in Moscow.Slightly browned and with an occasional minor marginal stain or tattered edge and the gutter folds somewhat weak but otherwise in very good condition. Rare first and only edition in Russian and French of an 1800 treaty between Russia and Prussia revising their 1792 treaty in the new political situation.l KVK & WorldCat State Library Moscow only; not in G.F. von Martens Recueil des principaux traités .

1729K1VE5E3V8EEQSt. Petersburg 1729. Small folio 27.5 x 19.5 cm. Imperial Academy of Sciences Disbound. Two treaties between Russia and the Safavid Empire in Russian and German in 2 parallel columns. 10; 12 pp. Ad 1: Very rare first and only edition of the Treaty of Rasht a peace treaty between the Russian Empire and the Persian Safavid Empire concluded between the very young Tsar Peter II and Shah Ashraf who would both die a year later. After the Russian Tsar Peter the Great died in 1725 Russia faced difficulties in retaining the newly conquered lands around the Caspian Sea. The Safavids wished to push the Russians back from all Persian territory and after some minor battles they agreed to a truce in 1727 which was signed at Rasht in 1729. "The treaty incorporated a number of provisions that seemed to resolve all the outstanding issues between Russia and Persia but as a practical matter it was never put into effect. By the time the pact was signed Ashraf's regime was already on the verge of being overthrown by Nadir Quli Khan. . Having successfully disposed the Afghans i.e. Ashraf Nadir then turned his attention to the restoration of the Persian lands seized earlier by the Ottomans and the Russians" Sicker.Ad 2: Second copy located of the first and only edition of a new peace treaty between the new rulers of the Russian and the Safavid Empire concluded between Tsarina Anna and Shah Tahmasp II just a few months before the latter was deposed by Nadir Quli Khan the future Nader Shah.Upon restoring both treaties the title-pages were switched; both have their spines strengthened some restorations to the fore-edge margins and some waterstains but all text is present and clearly legible; fair copies of two very rare treaties.l Ad 1: Catalogue de la section des Russica 820; WorldCat 3 copies; Ad 2: WorldCat 1 copy; cf.

26000Stratford Place 6 July 1816. See Image. Three pages12mo bifolium corner marked mainly good condition. Text: "The Grand Duke is desirous to see the Docks underlined on Wednesday & we thought the best way of peforming it would be in going there by water. Could we therefore have your Barge on that day - when underlined should we embark & at what o'clock phrase underlined - for the tide. Excuse my importunity and believe my ever Yours most truly signature to be deciphered PS Since writing the above Sir Wm Congreve has made the very just observation that it would be safer for us - not to be dependent upon the tide - to go there by land & return underlined by water. So let me request you to order the barge down to the South end of West India Docks to be there about 1 o'clock." Note: I've found little information about this visit but what I have found suggests that he arrived in England after July 1816. This letter gives the impression that he was already in England at that time. See Images. Stratford Place, 6 July [1816?]. See Image. unknown
