NOBEL OIL COMPANY -- Prazdnovanie dvadtsatipiatiletiia tovarishchestva neftianogo proizvodstva Brat'ev Nobel 1879-1904. [Celebration of 25 Years of the Brothers Nobel Oil Company.] St. Petersburg: n.p., 1905. 4° (311 x 230mm). Chromolithographs and head- and tail-pieces, and 33 plates, including 4 divisional titles, some chromolithographed or printed in colour. Original blue cloth, upper side blocked in silver, gilt and grey (light soiling and light scuffing).
Rare and finely produced publication, almost certainly privately published by Branobel, recording in great detail the individuals and companies associated with the Jubilee celebrations: including lists of participants, transcriptions of letters of congratulations and of letters from those who could not attend, and fine reproductions of some of the gifts sent to Branobel to mark the occasion. It serves as an excellent record of Branobel's extensive network of associates. With 2 related others: V pamiat o Liudvig Emanuilovich Nobel (SPb: 1889), a memorial pamphlet relating to Branobel's founder from the collection of Mina Nobel with her signature; and: Opisanie neftianykh produktov Tovarishchestva i sposoby ikh primeneniia (SPb: 1903), a booklet cataloguing Branobel oil products and their applications. WorldCat apparently records no copies of either of the last two items. (3)
