GAGARINE, Gregoire (1810-93; illustrator)
Scènes Paysages, Moeurs et Costumes du Caucase. Paris: A. Hauser, [c. 1847].
A very rare work depicting native dress in the Caucasus; the only copy listed in RBH. Represented are Tatars, Kurds, Armenians, Georgians, Dagestani, etc, as well as Russians. Originally intended to be issued in 48 parts of 6 plates each, only 11 were completed, without title or text (intended to be written by Ernest Stackelberg), as here. In 1847 Gagarine and Stackelberg published La Caucase pittoresque. Bobins IV, 1017; Colas 1147; Lipperheide Kaa 51.
Broadsheet folio (541 x 374mm). 66 plates, coloured by a contemporary hand, lithographed by Janet Lange, J. Keller and Bachmann after Gagarine, numbered at lower centre 1-66 (some irregularity - there are 2 plates numbered 26, 28-30, 49 and 55, but no plates numbered 7, 17, 18, 23, 35 and 36), publisher’s A.H.’ or A. Hauser blindstamp in lower margin (lacking half-title and printed title, some spotting). 19th-century brown half morocco by A. Drache, tooled on spine tail, gilt spine lettered in second compartment, green edges, one printed livraison wrapper bound in (light wear). Provenance: small erasure on wrapper — Louis Becker, Paris (20th-century bookplate).
