NARBUT, Vladimir Ivanovich (1888-1938). Alliluia. [Hallelujah.] St Petersburg: Tsekh poetov, 1912.
Presentation copy of the first edition, one of just 100 copies. The censor deemed the work grotesque in its satirical treatment of the provincial aristocracy, and confiscated most copies on the charge of obscenity. Narbut went into exile in East Africa to avoid prosecution, and returned to Russia after the amnesty of 1913. This copy was presented by the author ‘as a keepsake’ to the symbolist writer V. Y. Bryusov.
Octavo (245 x 163mm). Portrait frontispiece. Printed throughout in red and black on blue laid paper watermarked ‘Ingres d'Arches’. Original card wrappers printed in brown, each cover centered with a vignette (spine and edges with small skillful restorations); in a quarter leather box. Provenance: Vladimir Ivanovich Narbut (inscription dated April 1912 to: ) - Valery Yakovlevich Bryusov (writer, poet, translator, 1873-1924) - Yak. Grebenshchikov (inscription dated 1913).
