DEMIDOFF (Anatole de). JOURNEY THROUGH SOUTHERN RUSSIA AND THE CRIMEA, THROUGH HUNGARY, WALLACHIA, AND MOLDOVA, UNDERTAKEN IN 1837... dedicated to His Majesty Nicholas I, Emperor of All Russia. Paris, Ernest Bourdin, 1840–1842. 4 in-8 volumes and a folio atlas, in brown half-shagreen, with an ornate ribbed spine (contemporary binding).

The work comprises 4 in-8 volumes of text, illustrated with 23 plates in Volume 1, 11 in Volume 2, and 1 in Volume 4, and a very fine atlas of 95 engraved plates, most of which were remarkably colored at the time, including 79 primarily concerning natural history and zoology, 12 on geology and coal exploration, and 4 fold-out maps. A copy with very vivid and brilliant colors. A few foxing spots and minor defects on the spine of the atlas; one page (table of contents) is torn with a significant loss.
