Risunki sobstvennym voiskam pokoinago Imperatora Pavle I. [Drawings of his own Army by the Late Emperor Paul I when His Highness was Grand Duke]. [St. Petersburg]: Lithographic Department of the Military Settlement, 1835.
Rare and remarkably fine suite of prints drawn by Paul I, Tsar of Russia, of his own army. The short reign of Paul I ended with his murder in 1801, and was marked by his obsession with dress uniforms. All ten of the Tsar's figures in this rare suite are drawn in the same posture, at attention with arms firmly clasped to sides, and though this gives them a slightly doll-like quality, they are painstakingly and beautifully coloured by a contemporary hand. Bobins I, 210; Zaionchkovskii 1715.
Small folio (311 x 220mm). Lithographic title and 10 numbered, lithographic plates coloured by contemporary hand (title soiled at foot where mark of ownership erased, bottom corners of leaves with very light staining, more heavily affecting to plates 8, 9 and 10). Contemporary green Russian morocco, upper cover lettered in gilt, both covers with elaborate panelling in gilt and blind, flat spine in gilt panels, gilt turn-ins, blue endpapers, gilt edges (extremities rubbed, tiny split in joint at head of spine). Provenance: captions to plates with early manuscript translation into German — Mark Dineley (armorial bookplate) — shelf-mark on title.
