DESCRIPTION
Each chapter discusses a different member of the Romanov family beginning with Mikhail Fedorovich and ending with the final Tsar, Nicholas II.
Each biography follows the overarching theme of the rise and fall of the Russian dynasty.
With an illustrated family tree of the Romanovs.
Count R. L Sangorski was a prominent art collector famous for contributing to the John Marriot collection of Chinese Art.
These works are listed on a receipt for binding issued to him in the 1980s, found with the sale of his collection.
Bound in the 1980's after Asprey's acquisition of Zaehnsdorf bindery, who merged it with their previous acquisition of Sangorski and Sutcliff. This binding is likely to be Zaehnsdorf bindings, under the name of Asprey.
Written by Ian Grey, a New Zealand born historian of Russian History.
CONDITION
In a full crushed morocco binding. Zaehnsdorf binding for Asprey and Co, Asprey gilt stamp to front pastedown. Internally, firmly bound. Pages are bright and clean throughout.
