ECKERT, Heinrich (1807-1840) , and Dietrich MONTEN (1799-1843).

Das K.K. Russische Militair. Würzburg: Christian Weiss, 1840 [but c. 1842].

Rare and possibly complete series of hand-coloured lithographs of Russian military uniforms, issued as part of Sämmtliche Truppen von Europa published in parts between 1838 and 1843 in issues with either German or French captions. Bibliographers disagree on the exact number of plates, with Colas noting that 'it is difficult to establish the exact content of this collection as, apart from the numerous variants, the known examples vary in content'. Bobins III, 1137; Colas 935 (calling for a printed dedication to Nicholas I and 144 plates, but these may relate to another issue); Lipperheide Qc 26 (128 plates).



Folio (350 x 258mm). 138 full-page lithographs with the publisher's blindstamp in the lower margin, 107 of these tipped-in, as issued, on leaves with printed captions, all coloured by a contemporary hand and finished with gum arabic (some light marginal spotting, a few short marginal tears, some of these repaired). Original printed boards (rebacked and -cornered in green morocco, extremities rubbed, scuffed and rubbed, spine faded). Provenance: Theodor Brauer (inscription) — Franz Gaucher (inscription dated 6 May 1883) — [Sir George Francis Hugh, Marquess of Cambridge (bookseller’s note)] — [sold Christie’s 29 Nov. 2007, lot 84].
