J. Pinard and Engelmann for Cadolle, Paris, 1825
£27,500

First large-size prints of Moscow deluxe version printed on China paper, with rare subscribers' list, in original printed wrappers.

A fine, complete example of Cadolle's first Russian work, limited to only 250 copies, showing dramatic views of the Russian capital during the Golden Age. Published the year of the Decembrist revolt.
