Stroganov (Sergei Grigorevich & Solntsev, Fedor Grigorevich). [Drevnosti Rossiskago Gosudarstva: Izdaniya po Vysochaishemu Poveleniyu, Moscow: Aleksander Semyon, 1849-1853, reissued in an English edition as:] Antiquities of the Russian Empire. Published by Imperial Command. Description of the Plates, Translated by W.S. Mirrielees & R. Harrison, 1855 (Reprinted 1892), 6 volumes bound in 4, 1849-53-92, chromolithographed title-page and printed English title in first volume, 6 chromolithographed volume titles, printed table of contents in English to each volume, 508 (mostly) chromolithographed plates with captions in Russian and French (numbered and complete: 112+101+147+37+72+39), volumes 4-6 bound as one, library stamps to lower margin of English printed title and volume titles of volumes 2-4 with manuscript library numbers to versos, ink numbers to lower margin of Russian title and further library numbers to verso, library stamps to lower margins of first contents page of volumes 1-4, some intermittent finger-soiling, heavy spotting to plate 29 of volume 5, printed library labels to front endpapers, contemporary half morocco, heavily rubbed and slight wear to extremities, library class numbers at foot of spines, volume 2 snagged at head of spine, final volume rebacked in morocco, folio (510 x 375mm) Colas 138; Fekula 6194. This elaborate description of a wide range of Russian artefacts was conceived by A.N. Olenin, President of the Academy of Arts, and undertaken with the patronage of Tsar Nicholas I. It was written by Stroganov and illustrated by Solntsev. It was published in a modest edition of 600 copies. The original edition included a seventh quarto volume of text in Russian and French, often missing. It would appear that this is a reissue, using all the plates from the original edition of 1849-1853, discarding the French chromolithographed title and Russian/French contents pages in favour of a printed English title-page and English contents pages. The English translations on the title-page would therefore refer to the contents pages here supplied, and the seventh Russian/French text volume not included. No other copies of this 'reissue' have been located, nor have any copies of Mirrielees and Harrison's translations of 1855 been found. (6)
