BUDDEUS, Carl. Volksgemälde und Charakterköpfe des Russischen Volks... Tableau des moeurs et des usages, des occupations et des divertisssements des Russes. Leipzig: Joh. Friedr. Gleditsch, 1820.
2 volumes, 2° (368 x 260mm). 16 hand-coloured plates. (Spotting, occasional soiling.) Original printed boards (one volume rebacked, the other repaired, some soiling and spotting).
HAND-COLOURED IN THE ORIGINAL BOARDS. RARE. Accompanied by German and French descriptions, the picturesque plates represent 'typical' portraits, costumes, scenes and activities drawn 'carefully after nature... as complement to a trusty description of the Russian empire'. Apparently no complete copy sold at auction in the past century; we could locate only 5 copies in public institutions: 3 in Germany, one in the National Library of Sweden and one in the BL. Colas 481 (imperfect); Lipperheide Kaa 34 (imperfect); Thieme-B. V, 185. (2)
