Three folding lithographic maps mounted on linen, each with cloth-bound printed descriptive pamphlets in French and in Russian, 8o, in three contemporary Russian green morocco-backed slip-cases, spines gilt with scrolls and rocailles. Provenance: the first with manuscript library location label 'V./224.v.' in Cyrillic.
The green morocco of the slip-cases are typical of official publications issued during the reign of Tsar Nicholas I (1825-55), and these maps would undoubtedly have been commissioned by the Emporer showing the Imperial residences at the three locations. (3)
