Antique book Russian Army. 1856. 76 hand-painted lithographs, title page, dedication and table of contents. With a portrait of Emperor Nicholas 1 and his four sons. The size of the publication is 54.5-37.5 cm. Extreme rarity in full. Luxurious hand-painted edition. Contains all Russian army uniforms. To do this, in his famous catalog of rarities, Solovyov estimated the book at an impressive 275 rubles. Then the plates depict a variety of topographical scenes, pleasant variations of the poses of the figures and a subtle coloring of the hands, all this in combination with a good effect.The whole work contains a certain irony, because Pajol commanded the French cavalry in the Crimea (against Russia), and his father, Count Claude-Pierre Payol (1772-1844), was a Napoleonic general who led the French avant-garde to Moscow.
