FIRST EDITION OF ILIAZD'S RARE FIRST BOOK, extra-illustrated, perhaps at a later date, with four collages and three printed illustrations; the illustrations are after Kyrill Zdanevich, and the unsigned collages may or may not be related. To publish this book, which predates the 41° imprint, Zdanevich apprenticed with journeyman printers, and typeset and issued the book himself. Whereas the covers are typically of orange paper they are here of red card. RARE: number 45 of 105 copies only; ABPC records just one example at auction in the past 35 years; neither that copy nor the copy in MoMA include any illustrations. MoMA, The Russian Avant-Garde Book 211.
