Erstausgabe
First edition of this fine colour plate book, offering a splendid panorama of the peoples of the Russian empire, from Finland and the Baltic to the steppes of Central Asia and Mongolia. From the library of celebrated Hollywood director George Cukor (1899-1983), with his bookplate, designed by distinguished wood engraver Paul Landacre. This copy, with later watermarks, presented in a stylish period binding. The work is dedicated to Charles Hatchett - a clubbable chemist who won the Royal Society's prestigious Copley Medal in 1798 - who had made a business journey to Russia in 1790-1, on which occasion he delivered a coach to Catherine the Great, and "met many prominent figures in politics, commerce, and science" (ODNB). The plates, by the accomplished stipple engraver John Dadley, are based on the engravings in Johann Gottlieb Georgi's Beschreibung aller Nationen des Russischen Reichs (St Petersburg: C. W. Müller, 1776-8), with a French language edition published simultaneously, and an English edition in 1780-3. Georgi was one of the savants drawn to Catherine the Great's Russian Enlightenment, and undertook the first scientific ethnographic study of Greater Russia, enquiring into the cultures on the fringes, the Finns, Tatars, Samoyeds, Manchurians, Mongols, and Cossacks, and published the earliest scholarly account of Siberian Shamanism and Mongol Buddhism. All of these ethnic groups are illustrated in this superb suite of plates, with great attention paid to the details of their characteristic costume Abbey, Travel 244; Colas 703; Lipperheide 1342. Folio (350 x 243 mm). Contemporary red straight-grain morocco, spine with four low raised bands, each gilt lettered, compartments filled with crisp scrolling foliate rolls, sides with triple gilt fillet border enclosing broad gilt and blind scrolling foliate panels and frames with interlocking blind drawer-handle tools, gilt milled edge roll, gilt turn-ins, Stormont pattern marbled endpapers. 73 fine hand-coloured stipple-engraved plates by J. Dadley. Binding with a little retouching of colour at extremities, light offsetting from plates to letterpress and vice versa. A very handsome copy, plates with Whatman watermarks dated 1817, text dated 1811.

Buch
4to (36 x 26 cm), [78] pp. including French and English title pages, dedications, prefaces and tables of contents, with 73 hand-coloured aquatint plates (watermarked J. Whatman 1823) engraved by J. Dadley after Georgi, each with accompanying text in English and French. Red crushed morrocco, covers with borders in gilt and blind, spine richly gilt in six compartments, with broad gilt dividers morrocco lettering-piece to second, all edges gilt. Attractive copy depicting traditional russian dress in bright original hand-colour. This title was the fourth in a series of costume books issued by William Miller, which included Turkey and China. It depicts peoples from the whole spectrum of 19th century Russian society, including peasants, gentry, merchants, magicians, priests and shamen in their traditional dress. The text was written by William Alexander after the main texts available at the time on Russia including Pallas, Chappe d'Auteroche, Krashenenikov, and Sauer. The plates are after engravings by Johann Gottlieb Georgi's Beschreibung aller Nationen des russischen Reichs (1776-80). Georgi was one of the savants drawn to Catherine the Great's Russian Enlightenment, and undertook the first scientific ethnographic study of Greater Russia under the patronage of the Empress, enquiring into cultures on the fringes including the Finns, Tatars, Samoyeds, Manchurians, Mongols and Cossacks.
