Zatychka was the first book produced by the Hylaea group to incorporate lithographs although the text itself is printed. The lithographs celebrate the form of raw primitivism that Larionov and Goncharova had experimented with the previous year. Although the bold, primitivist lithographs are the most essential feature of the book, it also breaks new ground in the wildness and degeneracy of its poetry and in its interesting typographical arrangement.
Every copy from the edition is recorded to have been handcoloured and the text appears printed on red or blue paper. The present copy survives in remarkably fresh condition.
