Ricaud de Tiregale, P. MÉDAILLES SUR LES PRINCIPAUX EVÉNÉMENS DE L’EMPIRE DE RUSSIE DEPUIS LE RÈGNE DE PIERRE LA GRAND JUSQU’À CELUI DE CATHERINE II AVEC DES EXPLICATIONS HISTORIQUES. À Potsdam: chéz Sommer Imprimeur de la Cour, 1772. Folio [37 by 24 cm], contemporary brown marbled paper boards; black leather spine label, gilt. Magnificent engraved frontispiece portrait of Catherine II; title printed in red and black with engraved printer’s vignette; (4), 111, (3) printed leaves; finely engraved allegorical dédicace; woodcut decorations; 111 fine engravings of medals, each followed by descriptive text. Negligible intermittent foxing and discoloration. Fine. A superb example of this rare classic work in original state; the finest example we have ever encountered. Modeled on the French Médailles sur les principaux événements du règne de Louis le Grand (Paris: Académie Royale des Médailles et des Inscriptions, 1702), this exquisite work is among the very finest of the outstanding works on medals published during the eighteenth century. Each page depicts the obverse and reverse of a medal, generally at its actual size, with descriptive text and culs-de-lampe. The magnificent portrait frontispiece was engraved by Daniel Berger (1744–1825) following a painting by Pietro Rotari (1707–62). Berger and J.C. Krüger engraved most of the medals (some remain unsigned), while the dédicace is by Berger after Jean Gerin. While the typography and printing may not be up to the very high standards set by the French precedent, Ricaud de Tiregale’s opus remains a beautifully illustrated classic work on medals and a high-point of any numismatic library. Zaandam numismatist P. Smidt van Gelder’s fine collection, featuring Dutch and other European coins and medals, was sold at auction in 1846 and 1847. He was an early owner of this magnificent work and it appears to have remained essentially as it was when it graced his library shelves over a century and a half ago. Engraved armorial ex libris P. Smidt van Gelder; ex Clain-Stefanelli Library; diminutive embossed gilt-printed green label of J. Vinchon et Cie affixed to second front flyleaf, with the firm’s “Compliments” card and handwritten lot number slip [1146] loosely laid in. Arefiev, Belustigungen page 27; Supplementum III, page 2.

Tolstoï, Graf Iv. Iv. ДРЕВНѢЙШIЯ РУССКIЯ МОНЕТЫ ВЕЛИКАГО КНЯЖЕСТВА КIЕВСКАГО. St. Petersburg, 1882. Folio [40.5 by 29.5 cm], recent antiqued brown quarter morocco with tan linen sides; spine with four raised bands; dark red calf spine label, gilt. (4), ix, (1), 272 pages; engraved lithographic title in sepia; printed title in brown and black; 19 fine photographic and engraved plates (numbered 1–15 and 1a–4a), with facing leaves of descriptive text. Lithographic title a trifle discolored and worn at edges. Old institutional stamps in a few places. Very good. The author’s first and most important work, issued on the 900th anniversary of Russia’s first coinage. Only 100 copies were issued. A classic rarity and the standard work for a century. Count Ivan Ivanovich Tolstoï (1858–1916), was one of the foremost collectors and scholars of his day, and worked closely with his mentor Christian Giel. His works on the earliest Russian coins continue to be of considerable importance to this day. He received the Academy of Science’s prestigious Uvarov medal for this groundbreaking work. The Fall 1984 issue of the Journal of the Russian Numismatic Society includes a good biographical article on Tolstoï. Wündisch 25: “In nur 230 Explaren gedurckt.” Ex Kolbe Sale 79, lot 1304.
