MAYAKOVSKY, Vladimir Vladimirovich (1897-1930). Fleita pozvonochnik. [The Backbone Flute.] St Petersburg: Vzial [by Osip Brik], 1916.
The first edition of a major early work by Mayakovsky. A very good copy of this blasphemous, sexually-charged (and heavily censored) poem dedicated to Lilia Brik, the object of Mayakovsky's all-consuming passion. It is this poem that convinced Maxim Gorky of Mayakovsky's genius, and to champion him as Russia's greatest poet when most critics characterised him as a talentless charlatan. An early reader has supplied some of the censored text and punctuation in pencil. One of 600 copies only. MoMA, The Russian Avant-Garde Book, 132-3.
Octavo (243 x 167mm). Printed on heavy wove paper. Original stapled wrappers printed in black (small chip to one corner; light wear). Provenance: neat contemporary ownership signature on the front wrapper; an early owner has supplied some of the censored text in pencil.
