The rare first publication of Griboedov’s satirical masterpiece. It appeared in excerpts (pp. 257-316) due to the limitations of censorship, in ‘one of the best Russian almanacs, devoted to theatre’, edited by F.V. Bulgarin (Smirnov-Sokol’skii). ‘A very rare collection’ (Vershchagin). Rare: RBH records no other copies having been offered at auction. Smirnov-Sokol’skii, Al’manakhi, 271; Vershchagin 761.
12mo (149 x 108mm). With additional engraved title, 5 lithographic portraits (occasional light marginal waterstaining or spotting, tissue guards somewhat foxed). Contemporary Russian quarter calf, marbled boards, spine tooled in blind with title (minor repair at head, without endleaves). Provenance: A.K Pozharskij (bookplate), stamp ‘M 15’ to last leaf, pencilled numbers to rear pastedown.
