BLOK, Aleksandr Aleksandrovich (1880-1921). Stikhi o prekrasnom dame. [Poems about a beautiful Woman.] Moscow: Grif, 1905.
The first edition, in the original wrappers, of the first book by 'the greatest of all Symbolists' (Mirsky). These poems brought Blok immediate fame; 'they are quite original and their style is strangely mature for a young man of twenty to twenty two. The principal feature of this poetry is its complete freedom from everything sensual or concrete. It is a nebula of words' (Mirsky). Blok dedicated the work to his wife Liubov Dmitrievna, daughter of the great chemist Mendeleev. RBH and ABPC record only two copies having been offered at auction (in 2008 and 1981; both rebound). Kilgour 120; Mirsky, pp. 210-212.
Octavo (203 x 164mm). With the adverts. Printed on laid paper (lightly yellowed; occasional light wear). Original illustrated wrappers, by V. Vladimirov, printed in black (light soiling; some wear at the extremities). Provenance: Russian bookseller's small stamp on rear cover.
