Details
TIUTCHEV, Fedor Ivanovich (1803-1873). Stikhotvoreniia. [Poems.] Moscow: A.I. Mamontov, 1868.
The final lifetime edition of the collected poems of Russia's last great Romantic poet. This edition includes more than 60 poems written after the 1854 first edition, and a few early poems that had been omitted from that edition. Tiutchev 'is unquestionably recognized as one of the three greatest Russian poets, and the majority, probably, of poetry readers place Tiutchev, not Lermontov, to the right of Pushkin' (Mirsky, p.132). This copy is from a presumed early issue with poems 136 and 171 cancelled by the publisher (they are also not listed in the table of contents). This copy is extra-illustrated with a carte-de-visite photographic portrait of the poet mounted in.
Octavo (170 x 121mm). Extra-illustrated with a carte-de-visite photographic portrait mounted on a binder's blank (title inscriptions in ink and coloured pencils; title and last two leaves repaired in the inside margin; occasional light scattered spotting). Nineteenth-century black roan, the spine lettered directly in gilt, edges gilt (extremities lightly rubbed; hinges cracked but holding). Provenance: 'O.T.' (binding) – title inscriptions.
