BUDDEUS, Carl Friedrich Christian (1775-1864)

Volksgemälde und Charakterköpfe des Russischen Volks ... Tableau des moeurs et des usages, des occupations et des divertisssements des Russes. Leipzig: Joh. Friedr. Gleditsch, 1820.

Rare complete set, hand-coloured in the original boards. Accompanied by German and French descriptions, the picturesque plates represent 'typical' portraits, costumes, scenes and activities drawn 'carefully after nature... as complement to a trusty description of the Russian empire'.

Bobins III, 994; Colas 481 (imperfect); Lipperheide Kaa 34 (imperfect); Thieme-B. V, 185.



2 volumes, folio (365 x 260mm). 16 engraved plates, coloured by a contemporary hand (titles with a few letters affected by erasure of ?stamp, some light variable occasional creasing, spotting, soiling and browning). Original printed boards (vol. 1 rebacked, the other repaired, some soiling and spotting). Provenance: evidence of ?stamps removed from titles – Christie's 30 November 2006, lot 62.
