BEKETOV, PLATON PETROVICH (1761-1836)

[Description of the Wedding Ceremony between Tsar Mikhail Feodorovich and Tsarina Evdokiya Lukiyanovnaya Streshneva]. Moscow: Beketov, 1810.

Illustrated description of the ceremony of February 5, 1626 for the marriage of Tsar Michael Feodorovich (1596-1645), the first Romanov ruler of Russia, to Eudoxia Streshneva (1608-45). This work was edited by Platon Petrovich Beketov and is one of the most celebrated productions of Beketov's remarkable historical and scholarly effort. Beketov's work is based on a historical manuscript and shows the wedding itself and several orthodox rituals. Two years after the publication of this work, Beketov's press was closed and his stock destroyed during the Great Fire of Moscow of 1812. This hand-coloured version is notable for its 65 plates as most copies only have 63. Bobins V, 1485; Obolyaninov 1885.



Quarto (321 x 236mm). 65 engraved plates coloured by a contemporary hand, title page in engraved frame, text entirely in Russian (some light spotting and browning, tape to verso of plate 11, some creasing throughout). Half calf over marbled boards, spine lettered in gilt and gilt compartments with floral ornaments, speckled edges, note in pink pen to inside (extremities lightly rubbed).
