Alexander III Personally Owned Finely Bound News

Item Details

Description

Alexander III Personally Owned Finely Bound News Journals From the Russian Imperial Library

L'Illustration Journal Universel. Paris. A bound set of lavishly illustrated individual weekly news journals for dates of January- June of 1892. 15.5" tall by 12" wide. Written in the World language of the period, French. Condition report and provenance below.

This outstanding book is a bound set of Journal Issues representing the weekly world news from politics to the arts and science (with emphasis around Europe and Russia) and was personally owned by Alexander III. The book includes Alexander's red stamp to most all the Title pages within this volume. Perhaps the stamps were placed by Alexander III to discern which news journals he had just completed reading.

Provenance: Alexandre III of Russia (1845-1894), Russian Imperial Library at Gatchina Palace. Ex. Christies with the original Christies tag included.

Condition: Worn and rubbed boards in decorative coated paper with red quarter leather spine with leather corner tips. The book appears to have been recased in a new binding. What is likely a Cyrillic language bindery sticker is located on inside front paste down of the front board. Possibly the original end papers were used to decorate the boards as the original end papers are missing, as is Alexander's bookplate. However the binding is firm, with but one signature partially detached. Alexander's internal stamps are present and in excellent condition. Overall slight wear and rubbing to the book. The book is internally clean throughout.

This item comes with a Certificate from John Reznikoff, a premier authenticator for both major 3rd party authentication services, PSA and JSA (James Spence Authentications), as well as numerous auction houses.
