CADOLLE, Auguste Jean Baptiste (1782-1849)

Vues de Moscou. Paris: J. Pinard, 1825.

First edition of Cadolle’s first work on Russia, containing the earliest large-paper prints of Moscow. Cadolle lived in the city from 1819-1825, publishing this work upon his return to Paris. His landscapes depict a newly restored Moscow following the Great Fire of 1812 during the Napoleonic invasion. It was printed in three states with the most expensive in full colour, of which the present lot is an example. Bobins V, 1680; Querard II, 11.



Elephant folio (648 x 510mm). Letterpress title, two leaves of explanatory text and leaf of subscribers, lithographic dedication leaf, and ten lithographic plates after Cadolle by Deroy, coloured in a contemporary hand (with some light creasing to the plates, occasional light spotting mainly confined to the letterpress leaves). Contemporary quarter red morocco over red paper covered boards (extremities expertly repaired and furbished, most notably to top right corner of upper cover where a large area has been filled, extremities lightly rubbed).
