KRUCHENYKH, Aleksei and KHLEBNIKOV, Velimir, authors, LARIONOV, Mikhail, ROZANOVA, Ol’ga and KUL’BIN, Nikolai, illustrators. Starinnaia liubov’. Bukh Lesinyi. [Old-Time Love. Forestly Rapid.] Moscow: V. Rikhter, 1912.
First edition – in the original wrappers – of this rare experimental work. Another Russian avant-garde work born out of the collaboration between artists and authors influenced by futurism. Printed in 300 copies, it features verse surrounded by sharp lithographed illustrations reproduced from manuscript text – a technique favoured by Kruchenykh.
Octavo (145 x 100mm). With one full-page lithographed illustration and vignettes (uniform slight age browning). In the original wrappers (somewhat spotted, upper joint cracked, partly detached, doodle pencilled to lower wrapper).
