Show moreVery rare original German edition of Moritz von Kotzebue's narrative of a journey into Persia, in the suite of the Imperial Russian Embassy, in the year 1817. Complete with all plates including a foot-soldier and an officer, views of the mountains of Ararat taken from the gardens of the Sardar of Erivan, view of the castle Udgani, view of the castle of Sultanie (Solthaniyeh), the sepulchre of the saint Hassani-Kashi at Sultanie and a Tshimburak or Private of the Camel Artillery. - Moritz von Kotzebue (1789-1861) was a Russian/Estonian officer and traveller and brother of Otto von Kotzebue. In 1817, as a young lieutenant in Russian service he travelled to Persia (Iran), in the cortège of a Russian embassy sent to the encampment of Fathá-Al Shah at Soltaniyeh. He kept this illustrative journal which was soon afterwards published by his father, the playwright August Friedrich Ferdinand von Kotzebue, who also wrote the preface of this work. "The embassy left Tblisi in mid-April 1817 and arrived in Tabriz on May 18 1817, where the tsar's envoy was received by Abbas Mirza, the crown prince. After eight days the embassy left Tabriz for Soltaniyeh via Zanjanm and on July 26 1817, reached its destination where Fathá-Al Shah received the embassy five days later. At the end of August 1817 the embassy left the shah's encampment and travelled back to Russia by way of Tabriz and Erivan" (Howgego). A second German edition of this work was published in 1825; an English edition appeared in 1819; a Dutch in 1819; a French in 1819 and a Polish in 1821. - Bindings show traces of use.
