細節
NARBUT, Vladimir Ivanovich (1888-1938). Alliluia. [Hallelujah.] St Petersburg: Tsekh poetov, 1912.
The first edition. This attractively produced collection of verse was published in an edition of just 100 copies. The censor deemed the work grotesque in its satirical treatment of the provincial aristocracy, and confiscated most copies on the charge of obscenity. Narbut went into exile in East Africa to avoid prosecution, and returned to Russia after the amnesty of 1913. RBH and ABPC record only two copies having been offered at auction.
Octavo (243 x 163mm). Frontispiece portrait; decorative initials; printed throughout in red and black on blue laid paper watermarked "Ingres d'Arches". Original card wrappers printed in brown, each cover centered with a vignette (minor wear).
