Authored by the geologist Carl Schmidt and published in Dorpat (Tartu) in 1885, it exemplifies the detailed, locale-specific research conducted on the agricultural resources of the Russian Empire in the late 19th century. The work is notable for its association with Count Mikhail Pavlovich Tolstoy, a member of the distinguished Tolstoy family and likely the landowner, highlighting the intersection of aristocratic patronage and empirical science. A copy bearing the author's autograph adds significant provenance, connecting this scientific pamphlet directly to the scholar who meticulously studied one of Russia's most vital natural assets.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Stanza Rare Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43962980433962,"sku":"EB-306302715432","price":90.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0701\/6359\/5306\/files\/57_3391bb12-c8bc-48b0-867a-e94d2991bc80.jpg?v=1768159426","url":"https:\/\/stanzararebooks.com\/products\/autograph-carl-schmidt-ackererde-und-untergrund-1885-arable-soil-and-subsoil","provider":"Stanza Rare Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
