Fifth edition of this rare guide to the Leningrad (St. Petersburg) Zoological Museum, illustrated with monochrome photos of exhibits and featuring the museum's wooly mammoth specimen on the cover.
Nikolai Knipovich (1862-1939) was a notable ichthyologist and undertook extensive studies in the Barents, Caspian, Black and Baltic seas. He worked at the Zoological museum between 1894 and 1921 and compiled this guidebook in 1910. Notably scarce, there is one holding of this fifth edition at the University of Michigan and no holding of any other edition apart from a copy of the second edition at the University of California.
Fifth edition, 8vo (19.4 x 13 cm); four plans of the museum, two of which are folding and 11 illustrations; original printed wrappers, corner of upper wrapper creased, a very good copy.
