Lot Essay

Like the copy of 17 Nonsensical Instruments (see previous lot), this example of Fact is dedicated to Gordeev by the author Igor Terent'ev. Although Gordeev did not contribute to this volume it seems highly likely that Zdanevich designed it. Once again the edition must have been extremely small. We have yet to handle another copy of this book which does not appear in Markov or other bibliographics we have access to.
