Southeastern Europe in a signed full-morocco binding --- First edition of this celebrated illustrated travelogue, in a spectacular binding with the arms of the Russian Empire. This is the first of Demidoff's travelogues to be published, with all plates printed on India paper. In 1837 Count Anatolii Nikolaevich Demidoff, Prince of San Donato (1812-70), launched a geological expedition to Ukraine and Crimea at his own expense. He was accompanied on his travels by the artist Denis Raffet, who illustrated Demidoff's account. We have come across other examples of this impressive binding, sometimes without the double-headed eagle on the covers. This is the first we see in red morocco, and one of the rare ones with the binder's label. Provenance: Physical description:Tall 8vo. (26 x 16.7 cm). Half-title, wood-engraved frontispiece on India paper showing Tsar Nicholas I on horseback, title, vii, 621, [3 including errata and table] pp., with 23 wood-engraved plates after Raffet, all printed on India paper mounted and with tissue guards, one page of sheet music, numerous wood engravings in text.

Typed bookseller's description laid in. Jacques Marquet de Montbreton, baron de Norvins (1769-1854) is remembered principally as a chronicler of the Revolution and Empire, though he was himself a politician. His political tendencies landed him in prison (La Force), and a personal request made by Madame de Staël to Napoleon freed him; he was thereafter loyal. The resultant work is decidedly biased, but easily surpasses other efforts of the period both for Norvins's clear style and for the fine illustrations of Raffet. Carteret calls the work a "tête du colonne du XIXe siècle" and other bibliographers concur. The distinction of the work is amplified in examples on papier de chine, a European paper made in homage to the smooth papers of China. It is distinguished by its grayish tinge and has long been prized for printers; Rembrandt held it in very high esteem. Carteret lists sale records for the work; in 1912 he indicates two copies: an ordinary copy (at the Legrand sale) for 505 francs, and a papier de chine copy (L. de Montgermont sale) for 6,020 francs (nearly twelve times more).Aimé Laurent (Laurent Meeûs) was a prolific Belgian collector. Purchased at the Jacques Levy sale, Sotheby's, 20th April 2012, lot 248.Levy's collection was broad, but had a special strength in fine illustrated French books such at the present item.
