Collection de cris et costumes de paysan et paysannes de St. Petersbourg. St. Petersburg: Alexandre Pluchart, 1823.

A fine set, beautifully and fully coloured, preserved in the very rare wrappers. This collection of Russian peasants and street vendors in St. Petersburg was published by the renowned Russian lithographer Alexandre Pluchart after a number of St. Petersburg-based artists, most notably Karl Ivanovich Kollman. Kollman was a German-born water-colourist who moved to St. Petersburg at the age of seventeen to study under his uncle, Ignaz Sebastian Klauber (1753-1817), a specialist in etching. From an early date, Kollman preferred the medium of watercolour for his artwork which during these years came to focus primarily on Russian folk traditions and culture as demonstrated by this collection of plates. His skill was such that he was elected one of the Academicians in the St. Petersburg Imperial Academy of Arts. He was also a draughtsman involved in the design of Alexander's column in Palace Square, St. Petersburg, built between 1830 and 1834 by Auguste Ricard de Montferrand, and also in the construction of St. Isaac's Cathedral, St. Petersburg. Bobins IV, 1236; Colas 659; Lipperheide Kaa 40.



Folio (344 x 228mm). 16 lithographic plates, coloured by a contemporary hand, all with blue wash borders (very light toning). Loose within original printed grey paper wrappers, title printed within woodcut border on upper cover (a little spotted more heavily on upper cover); contained in a modern cloth portfolio.
