Schubert, Général T.F. de. MONNAYES RUSSES DES DERNIÈRS TROIS SIÈCLES, DEPUIS LE CZAR JOAN WASILIEWICZ GROZNYI JUSQU’À L’EMPEREUR ALEXANDRE II. 1547–1855. Leipsic: Ernst Schäfer, Libraire-Éditeur, 1857. First edition. Two volumes: text and plate atlas. Text: 4to, later tan linen-backed mottled boards; green spine label, gilt. xiv, 331, (1) pages; 1072 descriptions. Atlas: oblong folio [27.5 by 41 cm], full red morocco, decorated in gilt. Title printed in gilt on a blue background; engraved plate of edge designs and legends; 36 additional superbly executed plates of coins printed in relief and in gold, silver and copper tints on a charcoal background. Plate descriptions printed in Russian. Text volume with intermittent light staining. Plate album binding very worn, with boards detached but present; some staining to legend plate; coin plates attractive and near fine. Very rare and most desirable. Feodor Fedorovich Schubert’s monumental work on modern Russian coins is well described in a Journal of the Russian Numismatic Society article by Randolph Zander, as follows: “Schubert published in French, having an eye to a broad European public and intending that his catalogue should serve as a generally accepted standard work. His work was based on his own collection plus the results of study of over 30 major Russian collections, visited repeatedly and researched over a period of 10 years. The format combines scholarly discipline with practical features. Schubert defined his method in these words: ‘In my work I have set myself these conditions: to bring together all that is known up to now on Russian coins, to classify them by reigns, in each reign to classify the coins by types each bearing a consecutive number, and to provide an illustration of the best available specimen of each type, to place under each type number the lesser varieties of the given type—such as date, edge, legend &c, with each such variety assigned a letter following the number: to indicate the references where to coins may be found: and in the case of rare coins the collections which contain them; to show the weight of each gold and silver coin, and to fix a price which a collector might expect to pay for each piece.” There were numerous in-text footnotes, discussing a variety of subjects, and each reign was accompanied by a discussion of its monetary history. There is no question but that the work was far more orderly and forthcoming than Chaudoir’s of the other extant catalogues. It was in this 1857 work, published two years after the death of Nicholas I, that Schubert first ventured to publish, under No 964, his ‘unique’ specimen of the Constantine ruble acquired in confidence a few years earlier from Jacob Reichel who had produced and retained it a generation earlier. He gave currency to the cover story that the piece had been sent to the Grand Duke Constantine (the putative Emperor) in Warsaw for his approval. A striking if not altogether practical feature of the 1857 Catalogue is the bound atlas… On the plates are 2144 embossed images showing the obverse & reverse of the 1072 major numbered types described in the catalogue. The embossed images in relief were produced on Congreve’s Press by means of clichés taken from galvano copies of the coins, many taken from collections other than Schubert’s in order to insure the best example of each type. Bringing these together was a major undertaking in itself. The method of illustration, of which Schubert’s atlas was one of the early examples, had a certain vogue at the time… Given Schubert’s exacting methods of choice of specimens for illustration, the over-all visual effect of each folio page of excellently embossed and metal-colored illustrations is impressive indeed… But if coins can suffer from cabinet friction, think of the havoc wrought by ‘page friction’ if the atlas gets much earnest consultation!” The coin plates in this copy are well-preserved; this sumptuous work represents the zenith of this delightful illustration process pioneered by the Schäfer firm.

While the title page of Vol. II calls for 22 plates, the table of contents lists 21, so this copy is apparently complete.

Lacking some prelims, including frontispiece and engraved dédicace; main text complete. Opening leaves a bit tattered; barring occasional spotting, bulk of text is rather near fine. This 1730 issue, expanded by Filippo Argelati, is the best edition of Occo’s landmark work. Adolph Occo (1524–1606), was a German doctor and humanist from Augsburg whose work in the field of Roman numismatics is acknowledged as a major factor in the early development of numismatics as a science. Imperatorum romanorum numismata is particularly important as it abandons the grouping of Roman coins by metal and adopts, instead, a chronological classification. Cunnally observes that Occo’s Numismata served as a model for the great nineteenth-century catalogues of Roman imperial coins written by Theodore-Edme Mionnet and Henry Cohen, “a lineage that culminates in the Roman Imperial Coinage begun by Mattingly and Sydenham in 1923.” While paying tribute to his numismatic prowess, Babelon observes that “the eccentric doctor Adolphus Occo of Augsburg (1524–1606)” was “an advocate of the use of rhubarb, who declared that his conscience would not permit him to accept the change to the Gregorian calendar.” Babelon 78–79.
