I have what appears to be a disbound atlas of the Boxer Rebellion.  I
don't have a title page, any text, or table of contents.  It has 18
numbered plates which were folded to approx. 33 x 39 cm.  We still have a
partial back cover or perhaps part of the end papers -- burnt orange.
All of the legends and titles appear to be in Russian.  Plate 3 includes
a "sketch" of a train -- maybe showing troop nationalities?, plate 9's
profiles/cross-sections might be of defensive walls.  This item isn't new
-- I think that the person that took a quick look at it said that it was
published prior to some kind of Russian alphabet change.
 
Does this sound familiar to anyone?  I'd really like to be able to send
it up to central cataloging to be processed as an atlas!
 
Thanks!
