The Costume of the Russian Empire 73 color plates

Item Details

Description

Heading:
Author: Alexander, William
Title: Costume of the Russian Empire, illustrated by a series of seventy-three engravings
Place Published: London
Publisher:Printed by S. Gosnell for W. Miller
Date Published: 1803
Description:

[xviii] pp. With 73 hand-colored stipple-engraved plates by J. Dadley. Twin title pages in French and English. Text in English and French. (Folio) 34.8x26.5 cm (13¾x10½"), red straight-grain morocco with ruled gilt borders, lettered on spine in gilt, raised bands, all edges gilt. First Edition.

A beautiful series of hand-colored costume plates, based on the work of J.G. Georgi. The titles and text in English and French by William Alexander. "The Russian empire is of an extent unknown to other modern nations, and hardly equaled by that of the Romans in the summit of their power. It embraces within its limits, nations the most various, with countries and climates the most opposite ... It touches the Frozen Ocean of the north; and borders the warm climate of Persia, Japan, and China, on the south...." (Preface). Abbey Travel, 244. Bookplate of B.M.H. Rogers

Condition

A few mild abrasions to morocco, perhaps a bit of sunning causing slight discoloration; hints of foxing, some offsetting from plates; about near fine.
