KRUCHENIKH, Aleksei Eliseevich (1886-1968), Viktor Vladimirovich KHLEBNIKOV (1885-1922), and Ol'ga Vladimirovna ROZANOVA (1886-1918). Bukh Lessinnii. [Forestly Rapid]. St. Petersburg: EUY, 1913.
12° (147 x 99mm). 3 lithographs by Rozanova, one by Kul'bin, and vignettes by Rozanova or Kruchenikh. Lithographed throughout on thin, pale green paper. (Light wear in margins.) Original illustrated thin paper covers, with lithographs by Rozanova (front cover repaired, tears with loss in margins, some fading, some soiling). Provenance: State University, Tbilisi (stamps on frontispiece and back cover; penciled shelf-mark).
FIRST EDITION WITH ROZANOVA'S ILLUSTRATIONS, lithographed throughout and reproducing her calligraphy. The text revises Kruchenikh's 'Starinnaya Lyubov' [Old-Time Love], the first Russian book of Futurist poetry, and also adds an introduction by Khlebnikov, and a portrait of Kruchenikh by N. Kul'bin.
