MAYAKOVSKY, Vladimir Vladimirovich (1893-1930). Prostoe kak mychanie. [Simple like Mooing]. Petrograd: Parus, 1916.
The first edition of Mayakovsky’s second collection – from the library of Mikhail Larionov. Highly praised by B. Pasternak, the collection included the famous poem A Cloud in Trousers, here in a longer version than in its first appearance in print the previous year. Parus was the publishing house of M. Gorky, a great admirer of Mayakovsky. Mikhail Larionov was an avant-garde Russian painter and partner of the artist N. Goncharova; together they created some of the best experimental lithographed book illustrations of the time. Kilgour 678. Getty, Russian Modernism, 534.
Octavo (218 x 150mm). (Slight toning, last two leaf nearly detached, outer edges softened). In the original wrappers (lower edges frayed). Provenance: Mikhail Larionov (1881-1964) (stamp to upper wrapper and title) – pencilled annotations (last few leaves).
