Small 4° (252 mm x 192 mm) 21 pages. (Browned, marginal dampstains.) Stapled, as issued. Provenance: Nina Vasil'eva (1889-1979, poet).
FIRST EDITION. RARE. Printed in 1918, this was never offered for sale, as Degen did not have the money to pay the printers, and therefore few copies have survived. WorldCat locates no copy in any public institution; but one is found in Pushkin House, St Petersburg. AE and ABPC record only one copy at auction (Sotheby’s, 23-24 November 1981, lot 304). With contributions from Nina Vasil’eva, Burliuk, Kamenskii, Korneev, Kruchenykh, Tabidze, Terent’ev, Khlebnikov, Zdanevich, and others. See Nikol’skaia, Avangard i okrestnosti pp.16-17.
