Edition Originale, très rare, du premier guide de Moscou. Quelques déchirures et un petit manque de papier dans la partie supériure du dos. Quelques petites brunissures éparses au début et en fin de l'ouvrage. Légères traces de poussière dans les marges extérieures. Mais superbe exemplaire tel que paru, à toutes marges, non rogné et avec de nombreux cahiers non coupés. Conservé dans sa brochure beige imprimée originale. Très curieuse guide de Moscou, avec la description de son histoire, de ses monuments et de ses institutions civiles et politiques. L'auteur précise que "malgré les relations nombreuses que Moscou entretient avec tous les états d'Europe... cette ville qui se trouve maintenant sur une multitude d'itinéraires, n'est cependant pas encore connue sous ses véritables rapports. Des erreurs qui ont été répétées par des voyageurs qui la visitèrent dans les premiers tems de son origine, se sont perpetuées jusquìà nos jours ; et il n'est pas rare de trouver à son sujet, dans les géographes, de fausses notions encore empreintes de la grossièreté des siècles dans lesquels elles ont été puisées". Nombreuses sont les pages dédiées aux collections particulières d'oeuvres d'art, de peinture et de livres précieux. Une Bible de Gutemberg, par exemple, est mentionnée dans les collections du Prince Michel Pétrovich Gallitzin. Le dernier chapitre du livre s'occupe des postes et des diligences et offre des tableaux avec tous les itinéraires et les correspondances de Moscou vers les principales villes de la Russie et vers les frontières du pays. L'auteur offre des conseils aux voyageurs en précisant que la diligence "n'attend pas le voyageur qui tarde, et qui perd sa place s'il ne parvient pas à rejoindre à la première poste..." et que le bagage "doit être de nature à se laisser facilement emballer et ne doit pas être d'un poids au dessus de 20 livres...".

1815120459London: 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.
