Strelets. Sbornik 1-3ii [The Archer. Volumes 1-3]. Edited by Aleksandr Belenson. St Petersburg: [Strelets] 1915, 1916, 1922.
A complete set, in the original wrappers, of this important avant-garde periodical. Contributing artists include Chagall, Annenkov, Rozanova, Lebedev, Dobuzhinskii, Kul'bin, and others; contributing authors include Akhmatova, Mayakovsky, Blok, Remizov, Kruchenykh, Sologub, and others. 'The first issue evoked wide-ranging responses from acceptance of the Futurists to refusal to condone the association of the literary establishment with the radical Futurists. The second number caused general indignation and alienated many who had accepted the first issue. The only Futurist represented is Mayakovsky whose erotic poetry caused an uproar, and there were two anti-Semitic pieces by V. Rozanov which also alienated many. The tone of the third issue was pre-set by the response to the second' (Compton). The number of copies printed reduced dramatically with each issue, the final one – with the excellent plates by Chagall and Annenkov – printed in 300 copies only. Compton, The World Backwards, pp. 41-42; MoMA, The Russian Avant-Garde Book, 114, 124, 447.
Three volumes, quarto (257-286 x 185-199mm). Vol. 1: 12 plates on blue paper, illustrations; vol. 2: one colour-printed plate mounted on its printed caption leaf; vol. 3: 14 plates; (occasional marginal wear; vol. 1 margins lightly yellowed; vol. 2 with some spotting). Original printed wrappers (vol. 1: rebacked with some of the front cover illustration restored, worn with short repaired tears near the edges, some soiling; vol.2: front cover detached, spine chipped and worn, covers spotted and with some edge wear; vol. 3: long tear to front joint, some wear to the spine and yapp edges). Provenance: Russian booksellers' small stamps.
