Apollon. Edited by Sergei Makovskii and Nikolai Vrangel. St Petersburg: by Iakor, Golike and Vil'borg, Sirius, and others, for Makovskii and Ushkov, 1909-1917.
A complete set of the leading art and literature periodical in the decade before the Revolution, in the original wrappers, and in the publisher's original bindings for the years 1909-1911; this set includes the often-missing volumes of annals ['letopis'] for 1911, and the almanac for 1912. Apollon is the precious record of a vanished world, the embodiment of a remarkable flourishing of creativity immediately before the old order was swept away – with profound consequences for Russia and the rest of the world. It is a lavish publication, richly illustrated with fine chromolithographs, and featuring the first publication of important works by the prominent authors and artists of the time: Akhmatova, Bakst, Balmont, Benois, Blok, Briusov, Belyi, Dobuzhinskii, Gumilev, Ivanov, Kandinsky, Lukomskii, Mandel'shtam, Muratov, Meierkhold, Petrov-Vodkin, Roerich, Somov, Vrangel, and many others.
103 parts in 55 vols, large octavo (226-260 x 192-205mm). Plates and illustrations throughout (occasional negligible wear). Issues for 1913-1917 in the original wrappers; issues for 1909-11 gathered in the publisher's printed paper covered boards with spine label, the issues for 1911 preserving the original wrappers (wrappers of double issue 1-2 for 1914 worn at the spine with some repair; wrappered issues with occasional light wear, and some fading mainly at the spine; a very few wrappers detached or loosening; 1912 almanac with defective spine and some repairs; some bound volumes with wear at the joints).
