FIRST EDITION. An excellent copy of this rare commemoration published on the occasion of Nobel's 50th birthday, which coincided with Branobel's 30th anniversary. With Emanuel at the helm from 1888, Branobel became by 1917 the largest oil company in Russia. Almost certainly privately published by Branobel in a small edition: WorldCat records no copy in public institutions; not in ABPC or AE.
