AKHMATOVA, Anna (1888-1966). Vecher. [Evening]. St Petersburg: Tsekh poetov, 1912.
Presentation copy of the rare first edition of Akhmatova's first book, one of only 300 copies published. RBH and ABPC record a single copy offered at auction. The book brought Akhmatova immediate fame, and was reprinted more than a dozen times in several translations, even if Akhmatova herself described it as the work of a 'frivolous little girl'. Not in Kilgour.
Octavo (208 x 140mm). Frontispiece after Evgenii Lansere, printed in pink and blue on glossy white paper; engraved head- and tailpieces. Original illustrated wrappers printed in dark blue (expertly rebacked; a few spots on back cover, small repair to a short tear); in a black and blue quarter morocco box. Provenance: Anna Akhmatova (presentation inscription to:) – Petr Nikolaevich Martynov (author’s inscription dated 1959) – shelfmark sticker to rear wrapper.
