PAJOL, Charles Pierre Victor (1812-1891).
Armée Russe 1856. Paris: Auguste Bry, [1856].
Pajol’s fine renderings of Russian military costume. The first five plates constitute portraits of Tsar Nicholas and his four sons (the plates of Nicholas I and crown prince Alexandre Nicolajewisch are signed in facsimile). A wide variety of topographical scenes, pleasing variations in the posture of the figures, and fine hand-colouring, are all combined to good effect in the plates which are given a certain irony because Pajol commanded the French cavalry in the Crimea, while his father, comte Claude-Pierre Pajol (1772-1844), was a Napoleonic general who led the French advance guard into Moscow. Only 2 copies listed in RBH. Although Colas follows Vinet in stating that the 29 numbered plates, which include the title and dedication, are on 22 leaves, the fact that there is a plate 21bis brings the actual total to 23 leaves. Bobins I, 208; Brunet IV, 311; Colas 2260; Lipperheide Qo1 2 (1854 ed. with only 6 plates); Vinet 2328.
Broadsheet folio (521 x 358mm). Lithographic and chromolithographic plates in two numbered series by and after Pajol, the first series numbered I-XXIX on 23 leaves, comprising title, dedication to Tsar Nicholas I, and plates showing flags, medals, divisions, and details of arms and colours, the second a series of 56 chromolithographic plates of military costume, finished by hand, the 2 series intermixed, on guards (some spotting, 2 plates with pale wash). Contemporary red morocco-backed marbled boards, gilt spine (minor rubbing).
