(PRINT) - Professeurs de Medecine Et de Physiologie

Title: Professeurs de Medecine Et de Physiologie
Description: Moscow, N.p. 1892. Folio (25" X 18"). Very good. Minor soiling. Quite nice, with large, untrimmed margins. Plate III from a set of twenty loose black and white prints originally sold as a set in a portfolio, printed in Moscow in 1892. This untitled set of large, high quality photographic prints (each measures 25" X 18") commemorates some unidentified imperial autograph collection, with each print picturing a montage of autographs in specific collecting fields. Subject matters represented include many of the classic areas of autograph collecting: scientists (several different), artists, musicians, actors, opera performers, ballet stars, writers and poets, statesmen and more. While the signed photographs (usually cartes-de-visite), letters and other documents depicted in each montage are international in scope, there tend to be more Russian (go figure!) and French persons. Print number III depicts twelve cartes-de-visite: C. Slaviansky, C. Raupach, W. Soutouguine, W. Zalensky, Minch, Gwozdioff, L. Berquand, Marey, N. Zdekauer, A. Kogewnikoff, J. Sikorsky and W. Danilewsky. Six sign and/or inscribe their portraits and six are accompanied by a variety of holograph signed documents.These pre-revolutionary prints from the heyday of the czars -- all in handsome, clean condition -- are seldom encountered in this country, and come direct from our contact. All signatures depicted on these images are, remember, photographic reproductions of their signatures -- not authentic original signatures. .
