Seller's Description:
Not Stated. Near Fine. A first edition of this portrait of two reigns under the Romanov Tsars, by the fiercely anti-Romanov Rappoport, from the collection of Count Sangorski. Published in 1907, before the Russian Revolution, the work nevertheless anticipates it. As the author writes in his preface: "The eyes of Europe are directed towards Russia, the European China, where the scion of the house of Romanov is seated on his tottering throne, frightened at the phantom of an approaching revolution." A fascinating tract as much for the contemporary sentiment and viewpoint it represents as for its historical contents. Count R. L Sangorski was a prominent art collector famous for contributing to the John Marriot collection of Chinese Art. These works are listed on a receipt for binding issued to him in the 1980s, found with the sale of his collection. Bound in the 1980's after Asprey's acquisition of Zaehnsdorf bindery (1983), who merged it with their previous acquisition of Sangorski and Sutcliffe. This binding is likely to be a Zaehnsdorf binding, under the name of Asprey. Illustrated with 22 plates and a frontispiece. In a full crushed morocco binding, with gilt titles to the spine. Externally excellent, with just a little fading to the spine. Internally, firmly bound. With the occasional instance of light spots here and there. Near Fine.
