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.

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
190643341S.-Petersburg': Tip. Uchilishcha Glukhonimikh' M. Alenevoi 1906. 12mo 17cm.; publisher's yellow wrappers; 16pp. Wrappers both separated but present stock exceedingly brittle with shallow losses and light toning along extremities ownership signature and rubberstamps to upper cover; textblock disbound. Good only though internal leaves remain fresh. This edition unlocated in OCLC as of January 2019. Quite a scarce and early popular edition of the October Manifesto and the only such to have been published under this title. The Manifesto was issued by Tsar Nicholas II in response to a wave of violence and worker strikes. The success of the Manifesto which offered the population the promise of basic civilian rights was shortlived. This edition published by a Ukrainian and presumably imperialist publisher in St. Petersburg. Tip. Uchilishcha Glukhonimikh' (M. Alenevoi) unknown books
