PUSHKIN, Alexander (1799-1837). Brat'ia Razboiniki. [The Robber Brothers.] Moscow: August Semen, 1827.

One sheet folded into 16 pp., including integral printed wrappers (light scattered spotting to the integral wrappers and in the text; small, faint stain in the margin of the final leaf); housed in a custom blue cloth chemise. Provenance: "20728" (penciled press-mark on the rear wrapper).
