A Russian horse-drawn plough, published in Atkinson's 'A Picturesque Representation of the Manners, Customs, and Amusements of the Russians'.

[Sleigh] Redman Lithog. Maiden Lane, Cov.t Gard.n.
[n.d., 1820-3.]
Pair of lithographs with hand colour, fine condition with superb colour; 440 x 540mm (17¼ x 21¼"). Framed. Unexamined out of frame.
A pair of early British lithographs, with two Russian scenes: a four-wheeled carriage drawn by two horses, carrying a driver and passenger with a monocle through a town; and a two-horse sleigh with an officer and driver, racing through a village. After Alexander Osipovich Orlovsky (Warsaw 1777 - St. Petersburg 1832), a talented battle scene painter, portrait painter and caricaturist whose range of medium included watercolours, oils, engravings and pastels. He travelled extensively and was a volunteer in the partisan group led by Thadeusz Kosciuszko in the Polish liberation movement and uprising of 1794. He moved to Russia in 1802 where he settled in St. Petersburg and was a court artist for the Grand Duke Konstantin Pavlovich, for whom he executed drawings of uniforms and military parades. During his period in St. Petersburg he created numerous genre scenes and also society portraits. Most of his paintings and drawings from this time, however, were scenes of army life and battles, as well as romantic subjects featuring brigands and shipwrecks. David J. Redman was a former employee of Georg Johann Vollweiler, who sold the secret of lithography to Colonel John Brown in 1807. Redman's plan of Bantry Bay of 1808 is the earliest known lithographic map. 'British Map Engravers – A Supplement' gives his address as Maiden Lane from 1820 to 1823.

Suvóroff (Aleksandr Vasilyevich Suvorov, 1729-1800; Russian military commander), holding a French army in each crooked elbow, his right foot planted on Paris (left), a fortified town, is about to put his left foot on 'Peters[burg]. His appearance and dress, though caricatured, are less grotesquely untrue to life than in earlier prints. In his cartouche box, inscribed 'Les Directoire', are the five Directors; he removes a long pipe from his mouth to emit a blast of smoke at them, saying, "There now, be quiet will you". They say: "This Monster will be the Destruction of us all". In his right arm is 'Moreau's Army'; in his left, 'Macdonalds Army' (men, horses, flags, cannon, and bayonets).
