GIRENNERIE, Raoul Ange Edouard de la (GIRIN, pseud) 1830-1905?)

Moeurs Moscovites. Paris: Arnauld de Vresse, [n.d., c. 1865].

A very rare series of savagely humorous lithographs illustrating Russian manners, the corruption of the State, and the life and circumstances of Russian and Moscovite society, each with a caption. It is also a very good source for its depiction of Russian costume in the first half of the nineteenth century. A very good clean copy, beautifully coloured. Bobins IV, 1228.



Oblong quarto (322 x 249mm). Lithographic title and 18 lithograph plates, all coloured by a contemporary hand (plates 12, 13 14 trimmed in lower margin affecting imprint). Original lithographic green paper boards, with title in gold (spine restored at head, edges a little rubbed); in a modern brown cloth box, leather label. Provenance: Boris A Berezovsky (bookplate).
