Add to basketColourful satire by Odessans in Paris --- Complete set, rare, of this early satirical émigré magazine by prominent caricaturists from Odessa. We could not trace any such complete copy at auction, nor at BnF or Russia. We could locate five complete physical copies in the US (Harvard, NYPL, Miami University, Indiana University and… University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill). One of the earliest Russian émigré satirical magazines, Bich intended to scourge (bichevat) in its texts and caricatures "all the unpleasant phenomena of Russian life and all those who aggravate it, whatever party they may belong to and whatever slogans they may hide behind" (an announcement previewing the magazine's publication, quoted by Kudriavtsev; our translation here and below). The magazine primarily mocked the hypocrisy and barbarism of Bolshevism and its leaders, the hunger and poverty of the Soviet citizens, as well as the international politics and challenges of immigrant life. The main artists of the magazine were emigrants from Odessa: "the classic of Odessa caricature" (Barkovskaia), publisher and playwright Mikhail Semenovich Linskii (also de Lin and Michel Linsky, pseud. of Moisei Shlezinger, 1878-1941) and another prominent artist and caricaturist, Mikhail Aleksandrovich Drizo (pseud. MAD, 1887-1953). Both began their careers in Odessa periodicals, but after the October Revolution moved to Paris. Linskii was executed by the nazis in Nantes during the German occupation of France in October 1941. Drizo was arrested in 1942 for his earlier published caricatures of Hitler, Goebbels and other nazi leaders. Miraculously, the military court did not find it possible to convict him for drawings he had made before the surrender of France (despite his Jewish origins). Soon, he and his wife escaped from Paris, and until the end of the war hid in the French provinces under false documents. The literary part feuilletons, pamphlets, short stories, riddles, humorous imitations of the Russian classics, political poems and anecdotes were the responsibility of the playwright and satirist Arkadii Averchenko (1881-1925), who invited other writers to collaborate with the magazine, in particular Vladimir Klopotovskii (pseud. Leri) and Ilia Vasilevskii (pseud. Ne-Bukva) among others. Besides engaging texts and colourful and dynamic images (sometimes formally inspired by Toulouse-Lautrec) are creative and sassy advertisements: "Russians!!! If you want to be as elegant as the real Parisians, dress at the tailor Starck and Co", "Watch out! Hygienic rubber products. Dangerous to buy them "anywhere"! It is advisable to go to the only specialised warehouse of the Parisian firm J. Roussel" and "Analysis of soul by handwriting and date of birth for 1 lira in Constantinople and 1.5 liras abroad". Even though sharp satire on the new political order in the former Russian Empire was in great demand among readers, Bich did not last long, releasing a total of 11 issues from August to October 1920. Not to confuse this Paris-based magazine with an eponymous magazine published only in a single issue in St Petersburg in 1906, the weekly in Petrograd from 1916-18, and the Soviet magazine published in 1927-28. Provenance: Avenir Alexandrovich Nizoff (a pianist who lived in Edmonton, Canada, in the second half of the 20th century, and gathered a large, wide-ranging library of Russian works, especially covering art, émigré, literature and history). Physical description:Quarto (27 × 18 cm). 11 issues of 16 pp. each, complete. Bound in 20th-c. red cloth spine over marbled boards. Condition:Binding a bit rubbed and scuffed, lower spine end with tears, light staining on boards, hinges fragile but holding; first issue minimally rubbed at lower margins, almost loose, a couple of marginal closed tears, occasional light staining, but overall in attractive condition for a magazine.

Add to basketPaper Wrappers. Condition: Very Good. In Russian.16 pages including the color front and back covers and the advertising leaves. 36 x 26 cm. In color. In acid free Mylar sleeve. Paper is NOT brittle. Issue: No. 24, 8 July 1912. Main office address: St Petersburg, Fontanka 80. Editorial office: St Petersburg, Liteiny Prospect 57.…The issue opens with a powerful cover cartoon titled "They've Smelled It." A flock of ominous black birds descends on a gigantic money-sack marked in hundreds of millions, while two politicians discuss it. The caption has warning "Be careful with the billions!", and an Octobrist deputy replying that a trap has been prepared. The image satirizes parliamentary squabbles over colossal state funds and corruption around military and railway appropriations. page 2 mixes light verse and social satire. A poem, "Shoes and Fashion" by P. Potemkin on the absurdities of women's footwear and fashion fads. A feuilleton "A Life of Luxury (continued)" caricatures nouveaux-riches lifestyles, servants, and eroticized bourgeois leisure. Pages 3-4 verse and illustration. Short poems and epigrams frame a large colored panel on page 4 entitled "The Man in Love." A. Radakov's drawing shows a portly, aging lover in a series of romantic mishaps; the accompanying poem ironizes middle-aged passion and sentimentality. Page 5 A key political piece: a sequence of 3 color cartoons headed "The Tauride Cinematograph." Set in the Duma's Tauride Palace, it depicts deputies discussing gargantuan military credits, railway schemes etc, rendered like frames from a newsreel. The satire targets gluttonous government and compliant legislators who rubber-stamp vast expenditures. Pages 6-7: narrative prose and courtroom satire, including a story about a murder case and provincial justice. The layout combines dense columns of text with a decorative garden-scene illustration on page 7, matching the gently mocking tone. Page 8: blue-toned illustration by V. Bykhov with the title "Pirates." The accompanying poem describes hardened sea-robbers, then focuses on "Bob," a pirate haunted by memories and guilt, who ultimately puts aside his pistol. Page 9: Full-page drawing, "Peaceful Life," shows a petty-bourgeois couple packing belongings-gramophone, cage, bundles - under the commentary of a landlord. It satirizes cramped urban existence, debt, and small comforts on the eve of a move or eviction. Page 10 includes column "On Mr Lenin's Arrival in Petersburg." In small cartoon form it treats Lenin as news item to be marketed to curious citizens; the text mocks both the sensationalist press and political hero-worship. The rest of the page: anecdotes, critiques of provincial newspapers and a poem about city noise .Page 11 dialogue The Primitive (In the Editorial Offices of ''Perseus')" lampoons literary fashions and naïve symbolism. Beneath the large drawing of a boy selling a bedraggled rose the caption explains the price dispute, ending with the proverb that "There is no rose without thorns". Pages 12-15: correspondence, humorous replies, extensive advertising. One full page advertises the children's illustrated magazine "The Little Jackdaw," listing an impressive roster of contemporary authors. Others promote cameras, photographic equipment, theatrical encyclopedias, novels and creams, all carefully targeted at Satirikon's urban middle-class readership. The back cover is another large color cartoon by A. Yakovlev titled "Out Sketching." A painter, ostensibly doing a village portrait, instead fills his canvas with stylized ornament and boots, while the peasants look on. The caption notes that peasants are very talented, once one understands that nature is "connected with the most profitable orders" - a final joke about art, commerce and rural simplicity. The issue blends political satire about the Duma and Lenin, mock-heroic poetry, domestic caricature and consumer advertising.

In acid free Mylar sleeve. Paper is NOT brittle. Title: (Novyi Satirikon / New Satiricon) • Special issue: Spetsial'nyi nomer "Istoricheskii" - "Special '…Historical' number" • Issue: No. 6 • Date on cover: March 1918 (15 March 1918 in the digitized state copy) • Editor: A. T. Averchenko • Publisher: Izdatel'stvo «Novyi Satirikon» - "New Satirikon Publishing House • "Petrograd, Nevsky Prospect [=Avenue] 88 • Printer: Tipografiia T-va "Gramotnost'", 5 Rozhdestvenskaia, 44. • Pagination: 16 pages including color covers. The whole number is built around a wry "people's history" of Russia and Europe, written at the very end of the First World War and a few months before Novyi Satirikon was shut by the Bolsheviks. Cover by A. Radakov: Caption above the image: - "The window on Europe - now"). Peter the Great stands in front of a big boarded-up window in the wall of a ship or fortress. In the speech balloon he says: Well, now I see that the window to Europe has been nailed tightly shut!"). The cartoon comments bitterly on Russia's self-isolation after revolution and Brest-Litovsk. On page 2, Radakov's poem Eto bylo! - "So it was!" combines verse with small vignettes that jump through key episodes of Russian history, from legendary princes to the recent war, showing how supposedly glorious "turning points" led to present collapse. Arkadij Búhov's feuilleton Istoriia. . . - "The History of Oleg's Shield") retells the tale of Prince Oleg hanging his shield on the gates of Constantinople, but in a tone that mocks heroic myths and hints that modern politicians still trade in empty symbols. Valentin Goryánskiy's long poem Opyt . . . - "An Experiment in Historical Perspective") surveys czars, generals and revolutions, constantly undercutting them with ironic rhymes and up-to-date references. The implied question is whether any of these rulers ever changed the basic fate of "little people". Short aphorisms under the rubric Melochi - "Small Things", signed "Mr. Poker", provide epigrammatic comments on history, power and cowardice. A large two-page color cartoon by K. Grus titled Krug. . . "The circle of history is complete") shows three victorious soldiers of different nations (Austrian, German and Ottoman / Asian) manhandling a barefoot, rag-clothed figure representing defeated Russia. The suggestion is that historic abuses are returning in a new guise. Another full-page color plate by Re-mi bears the caption Zaklyuchitel'nyi. . . - "The final chord"). A fat demagogue waves a flayed animal skin (or metaphorical "trophy") towards a crowd of grasping hands. Beneath, the legend Vsem! Vsem! Vsem! - "For all! For all! For all!" mocks populist promises. The four-panel strip - "Historical quotations - by the way", again by K. Grus, links famous patriotic lines to grim scenes of 1917-18: Gorit'. . . - "The East burns with a new dawn": a tiny bearded man flees a blazing landscape watched by a brutal soldier. 1. Tikhav. . . - "The Ukrainian night is quiet": a violent struggle in the dark evokes civil war in Ukraine. 2. Otsel . . . - "From here we shall threaten the Swede": a ragged man with a rifle stands among ruins. 3. Kto tsar. . . - Who will lift the Tsar Bell, who will turn the Tsar Cannon?": the huge, fallen emblems of imperial power lie useless. Prose and verse pieces by Isidor Gurevich "The War of the Red and White Rose"), Bor. Mirsky, L. Arkadskii, Teffi and others jump between English, Scandinavian and Russian history, drawing satirical parallels to contemporary factions, provisional governments and Bolshevik rule. The issue is a bitterly humorous meditation on how "great histories" end in social chaos and hunger, written by liberal satirists who see themselves squeezed between reaction and radicalism. No Jewish reference. Contributors include Jews (e.g. Isidor Gurevich.). Radakov, A.; K. Grus (illustrator).
