SHCHERBATOVA, Olga Aleksandrovna
Po Indii i Tseilonu. Moi putevyia zametki 1890-91 [Across India and Ceylon. My Travel Notes 1890-91]
Wide-ranging travel account, illustrated with a wealth of photographs, some taken by the author, a remarkable Russian princess fond of travels. A fine example of this scarce first edition.
The great German polymath in an uncommon lifetime edition, often overlooked. A pleasant example of these accounts of Pallas' wide-ranging descriptions of Western and Central Siberia.
OBRUCHEV, Sergei Vladimirovich
V nevedomykh gorakh Iakutii [In the Unknown Mountains of Yakutia]
First edition of this important expedition exploring the last unknown region of Russia, and discovering there an impressive mountain: the Chersky Range. Complete with illustrations and the first map of the area, in north-east Siberia.
A rare St. Petersburg imprint, complete with exotic views and maps: first edition of these 4 volumes giving a taste of Pushkin's Russia for German-speaking readers. From St. Petersburg to Petrozavodsk, the Urals and the extreme north-eastern Siberia, through Russian literature, the Empress Maria Fedorovna and the famous fair of Nizhnii-Novgorod.
One of the most famous books on the Caucasus, and Georgia in particular; the first significant work on the region; the first large lithographic view of Tbilisi; with hand-coloured costume plates. A lovely, complete example of the first edition, in contemporary publisher's binding.
Rare statistical book on the Russian Railways, at a relatively early stage of development, complete with its detailed folding map. Printed in St. Petersburg. A lovely example, inscribed by the author.
