Three pages,12mo, bifolium, corner marked, mainly good condition. Text: "The Grand Duke is desirous to see the Docks [underlined] on Wednesday, & we thought the best way of peforming it would be in going there by water. | Could we therefore have your Barge on that day - when [underlined] should we embark & at what o'clock [phrase underlined] - for the tide. | Excuse my importunity and believe my ever | Yours most truly | [signature to be deciphered] | [PS] Since writing the above Sir Wm Congreve has made the very just observation that it would be safer for us - not to be dependent upon the tide - to go there by land & return [underlined] by water.

Rare portfolio of photographs by G. Lazovsky depicting the coronation of Tsar Nicholas II. Quarto, original publisher's blue cloth with black and silver titles and tooling to the front panel, 31 albumen prints on card mounts with the embossed blind stamp of the photographer and the mounts captioned in Cyrillic with printed slips, each image 6.25 inches by 9.125 inches. The series of photographs in this album cover the coronation festivities from the 10th to the 26th of May 1896.
