Description

A RARE AND STUNNING COPY OF MOSQUES OF SAMARKAND, 1905 NIKOLAI VESELOVKSIY (RUSSIAN 1848-1918), compiled by, ALEXEY SCHUSEV (RUSSIAN 1873-1949) and PYOTR PORKYSHKIN (RUSSIAN 1870-1922), illustrated by, MECHETI SAMARKANDA [Mosques of Samarkand] (Saint Petersburg: Ekspeditsyua zagotovleniya gosudarstvennyh bumag, 1905), issue I (Gur-e-Amir), all published, folio (600 x 400 mm closed), [10] pp., illustrated with 18 stunning fold-out plates, depicting the ornate decorative program of the mausoleum of Timur [Tamerlane] in Samarkand, text in Russian and French LITERATURE For another copy shown at the world exhibition of printed matter, see Katalog Russkogo Otdela [Catalogue of the Russian section] (Leipzig: [Exhibition for Book Printing and Graphics], 1914), p. 174 LOT NOTES This spectacular publication, whose first issue is dedicated to the infamous tomb of Tamerlane, erected in 1404 CE, was intended as a series. Following the Samarkand expedition, however, the Imperial Archeological Commission quickly realized it was lacking funds to complete publication of other installments. Nevertheless, its ornate and meticulous plates, beatifully preserved in this example, made Tamerlane's tomb an architectural wonder around the world. CONDITION In overall excellent age-appropriate condition with light handling and wear. Modern black binding. Some mild toning to the perimeter of the sheets. Scattered fingerprint marks, including on title page (plates unaffected and in very good condition.) Repaired tears to the foldout part along the top and bottom edge of Plate XI (Facade). Right and lower edge repaired / reinforced with tape. N.B. All lots are sold in as-is condition at the time of sale.
