Uniform matching hard back binding in publisher's original camel brown cloth covered boards, faded blocked and lettered gilt backs, olivine top edges. 8vo. 9¼'' x 6¼''. In May 1885, Kennan began this voyage across Siberia. He had been very publicly positive about the Ts…arist Russian government and its policies and his journey was approved by the Russian government. However, in the course of his meetings with exiled dissidents during his travel, notably Nikolai Mikhailovich Yadrintsev, he changed his mind about the Russian imperial system. On his return to the United States in August 1886, he became an ardent critic of the Russian autocracy and began to espouse the cause of Russian democracy. Kennan devoted much of the next twenty years to promoting the cause of a Russian revolution, mainly by lecturing. Contents | Volume 1: frontispiece, (xv)-blank, 409 pp with 4 maps and 90 illustrations | Volume 2: frontispiece, (x)-blank, 575 pp with 3 maps and 104 illustrations. In Very Good condition.

A few marginalia notes in pencil. Solid tex…t block, text generally clean. Rubbing to cloth, wear at head of the spine. (Sabin 29924) (Howes H-102). Murat Halstead's The Caucuses of 1860, published in Columbus by Follett, Foster and Company in 1860, provides a detailed, eyewitness narrative of the major party conventions that shaped the outcome of the pivotal presidential election. As a reporter and editor for the Cincinnati Commercial, Halstead attended the Democratic conventions in Charleston (April) and Baltimore (June), where the party split over the issue of slavery-ultimately nominating two different candidates, Stephen A. Douglas for the Northern Democrats and John C. Breckinridge for the Southern faction. He also covered the Republican convention in Chicago (May), describing the nomination of Abraham Lincoln over front-runner William H. Seward in day-by-day reports. The book includes transcriptions of key speeches, roll-call votes, delegate maneuverings, and even floor plans of the convention halls. First edition of Caucasus of 1860: A History of the National Political Conventions of the Current Presidential Campaign by Murat Halstead, published in 1860. (illustrator).

Add to basketOriginal large-format colour-lithographed map of the Caucasus (132 x 151 cm), dissected into 24 panels and backed onto linen, text in Cyrillic script, folding down to 33.5 x 27 cm. With an extensive key, decorative title cartouche, and table showing the divisions of the Caucasus. The linen backing is in places dust-soiled and st…ained, some tiny holes in the edges (from former wall mounting) that have been repaired, somewhat browned overall and with a few minor brown spots, a few small marginal tears (not affecting map) repaired with contemporary strips of paper, linen edges are slightly frayed in places, withal a very good example of this scarce and impressive map. A rare and large-format wall map of the Caucasus region in Russian. The map covers the modern territories of Armenia, Georgia, Azerbaijan, Dagestan, Chechnya, Kalmykia, etc. The map extends south to Tehran and north to Astrakhan. The eastern Black Sea is on the left and the western Caspian Sea is on the right. Beneath the title is a depiction of a railway winding through the mountains, and opposite it, a galloping horse with a cart crossing the mountains. Later editions were published at least until 1883 and 1903. The later edition is mentioned in 20th-century works dealing with international border disputes in the Caucasus. At the time of its creation, it was almost certainly the finest map of the Caucasus produced in the Russian Empire.

Contact seller5-star sellerVery good. Chromolithograph. Attached to original binder. Size 17.25 x 24.25 Inches. This is a beautiful c. 1930 Intourist U.S.S.R. Travel Company pictorial map of the Caucasus. The map is most intriguing as while clearly a tourist-focused piece, the English-speaking audiences for whom it was intended are mysteriously absent. Th…e English only established normalized relation with the USSR a year before, and the Americans had not. Moreover, this map appeared at the height of the Great Depression, when global travel dropped to a trickle. A Closer Look Printed in English, the map depicts the region from the Sea of Azov to the Caspian Sea and from Stalingrad (which had only recently been christened with that name) to Turkey and Persia. Cities, towns, and villages, including Astrakhan, Rostov-on-Don, Tiflis (the pre-1936 name for Tbilisi), Sochi, and Baku, are identified. The region's stunning mountains and beaches are illustrated, along with the railroad connecting Tbilisi and Baku with the rest of the Soviet Union. Ships ply the waters of the Black Sea and the Caspian Sea, and an airplane flies from beyond the horizon to Baku and Tbilisi. A previous owner's name is written in pencil on the verso and appears to be Beatrice Manley. We have been unable to trace this any further. Some Historical Context The fact that this map is printed in English is intriguing, since Britain only established normal relations with the Soviet Union in 1928 - 1929, and the United States would not do so until 1933 - 1934. This is also the period of Stalin's first five-year plan, which was implemented in 1928. Stalin's reforms focused on rapid industrialization and the collectivization of agriculture. The glaring question concerning this map, and to which there is no clear answer, is who was the target audience for this piece, given that the Great Depression and the first five-year plan were ravaging the global and Soviet economies. That reality, coupled with the fact that the Caucasus were, and still are, a relatively remote part of the world, makes one wonder 'who were the tourists flying on that plane from beyond the Soviet horizon to Baku and Tiflis?' Chromolithography Chromolithography is a color lithographic technique developed in the mid-19th century. The process involved using multiple lithographic stones, one for each color, to yield a rich composite effect. Frequently, the process would start with a black basecoat upon which subsequent colors were layered. Some chromolithographs used 30 or more separate lithographic stones to achieve the desired effect. Chromolithograph color could also be effectively blended for even more dramatic results. The process became extremely popular in the late 19th and early 20th centuries when it emerged as the dominant method of color printing. The vivid color chromolithography produced made it exceptionally effective for advertising and propaganda imagery. Publication History and Census This map was created and published by Intourist c. 1930 and printed in the Soviet Union. This map is not cataloged in OCLC, and we are aware of only one other example in private hands.

1854 Kiepert Map of the Caucasus, Armenia, Kurdistan, and Azerbaijan

Seller: Geographicus Rare Antique Maps, Brooklyn, NY, U.S.A.Geographicus Rare Antique Maps
Contact seller5-star sellerVery good. Light wear along original fold lines. Light damp staining in left margin. Size 30.5 x 29.25 Inches. This is an 1854 map of the Caucasus, published during the Caucasian War (1817 - 1864) and the Crimean War (1853 - 1856) by Heinrich Kiepert, the most accomplished 19th-century cartographer working in the Caucasus and Tr…ans-Caucasus. For 50 years, this served as a definitive map used for treaty negotiation, military activity, and administration. A Closer Look The map highlights territory claimed by the Turkish (pink), Persian (yellow), and Russian (green) Empires. Other highlighted entities include Kurdish and Lurian principalities dependent upon Ottoman and Persian protection and other independent Caucasian mountain peoples. The Circassians, Kabardians, and Suanen are marked by blue, Abkhazia and Chechnya by red, and Lesgier and Ossen by yellow. Historical Context This map appeared during a rare time of relative peace in Caucasia. The Russians repeatedly invaded the Caucasus from about 1817, a series of invasions collectively known as the Caucasian War. There was a brief respite between 1825 and 1833 when the Russian Empire was distracted by wars with Turkey (1828-1829) and Persia (1826-1828), but fighting resumed in earnest in 1833. The mid to late 1830s were witness to the most horrific events - the Caucasian Genocide, which took a heavy toll on the Circassian nation and largely drove its people into exile in Turkey and Persia. The outbreak of the Crimean War (1853-1856) led to a temporary ceasefire in the Caucasus, as Russians pulled back their forces to defend Tsardom's primary warm water port - Sebastopol. It is not surprising that Kiepert's map appeared in 1854. The end of hostilities can only have fostered optimism in the Caucasian nations. Additionally, the involvement of Western European powers in the Crimean War raised some hope that the interests of the Caucasian peoples might also be equally supported. The peace did not last. The Crimean War ended in 1856, and fighting immediately resumed in the Caucasus. The Caucasian War gradually wound down as Russian numbers overwhelmed the hearty mountain people, either forcing them into subjugation, slaughtering them, or simply driving them from their ancestral lands. By 1864, the fighting ended, and the Russian Empire took suzerainty over the greater part of the Caucasia. Significance This map is significant and, for 50 years, was the definitive map of the region, used for treaty negotiation, military activity, and administration. Kiepert traveled the region many times (constantly sketching maps) and produced several major maps of the Ottoman world, including this one. His own observations were supplemented by his diligent scholarship, resulting in a profound understanding of the history of explorers in the same area. Throughout this map, the tracks of earlier travelers are noted and dated. The result is the finest map of the region available for most of the second half of the 19th century. The densely hachured topography on the map testifies to the monumental difficulty of surveying in the region and the greatness of Kiepert's achievement. This map was so authoritative that it became the standard for any serious effort to understand the region. Not only was it relied upon by travelers, archaeologists, and administrators, but it was also consulted to establish new imperial borders following the 1877-78 Russo-Turkish War. Publication History and Census This map was created by Heinrich Kiepert and published by Dietrich Reimer in 1854. An example is part of the collection at Harvard University.
