The first edition, comprising one of Pushkin's earliest publications: the first appearance of his poem 'K Mechtateliu' [To A Dreamer].

Rare: RBH and ABPC record no copy having been offered at auction; WorldCat locates no copy outside of Russia. Smirnov-Sokol'skii, Pushkin, 47 (p.488).
One volume, octavo (199 x 111mm). (Small loss in the margin of leaf 13.4 affecting a few letters; light scattered spotting; pencil underlining in the Pushkin poem.) Contemporary Russian mottled half calf, red leather label (spine ends and corners repaired; extremities rubbed). Provenance: '207' (press-mark in blue ballpoint on small white label).
