細節
ZAMIATIN, Evgenii Ivanovich (1884-1937). Uezdnoe. Povesti i razskazi. [A Provincial Tale.] St Petersburg: M.V. Popov [1916].
A presentation copy of the first edition, inscribed by the author to Kuz'ma Petrov-Vodkin: 'Umileniiu zlykh serdets Kuzme Sergeevichy ot iskrennego pochtatelia. 10-II-1916' [To the Softener of Evil Hearts, Kuz'ma Sergeevich, from a sincere admirer. 10 February 1916.] Zamiatin's inscription alludes to the Orthodox Prophecy of Simon. Zamiatin and Petrov-Vodkin – one of Russia's most distinctive and important 20th-century artists – were later both members of the Dom Isskustv group founded by Maxim Gorky. The striking cover design is by Dmitrii Mithrokhin (1883-1973). RBH and ABPC record only one copy having been offered at auction. Kilgour 1278.
Octavo (213 x 155mm, with deckle edges). (Margins lightly and evenly yellowed; small chip in the blank margin of the last leaf; occasional faint dampstain or spotting in some margings.) Original illustrated wrappers, by Dmitrii Mitrokhin, printed in red and black (extremities chipped; spine worn; front hinge starting; some light soiling); custom red morocco backed clamshell case. Provenance: Evgenii Zamiatin (presentation inscription to:) – Kuz'ma Sergeevich Petrov-Vodkin (1878-1939, artist) – Russian bookseller's small stamp on the back cover.
