Прохор Жданов - Английская грамматика [English grammar] - 1772

DESCRIPTION: I present to you in auction a unique opportunity for true bibliophiles. Something like this rarely appears: the historic "Англиская грамматика", printed in St. Petersburg in 1772, by the master Прохор Иванович Жданов, within the framework of the maritime cadet corps.

This grammar dates from the second half of the 18th century, a time when very few books in Russian—and even fewer English grammars made in Russia—were printed.

+ A COPY THAT BELONGS TO THE SMALL GROUP OF “RARE BOOKS FROM IMPERIAL RUSSIA”.

Extremely rare: there is little public documentation of copies from that year in circulation — it does not frequently appear in commercial catalogs.

Why could this copy be worth a fortune?

+ Prices for lots of "rare books / old printed books in Russian" have ranged from GBP2,880 to GBP22,800 at Christie's auctions of rare Russian books.

+ Due to its nature, age, rarity and scarce supply, this book can be considered an elite collector's item: it is not just another old book, but a vestige of the Russian imperial era, of enormous historical and bibliophilic value.

A rare opportunity that few times presents itself. Don't let it slip away.
