Add to basketHardcover. Condition: Good. Moscow: N.I. Grosman and G.A. Vendelshtein, 1900. Broadsheet folio (26 3/8" x 18 3/8", 670mm x 467mm): 2 leaves, pp. [4] (lithographed title-page in red and black, blank, 2pp. contents). With 15 photographic lithographed plates mounted to card, each with a lithographed facsimile signature of Vasnetsov… in black and the number and title in red. Loose as issued in the publisher's pictorial four-fold red cloth-backed portfolio. Worn generally, with a good deal of folding and chipping to the edges of the sheets and card-mounts. The front flap of the portfolio detached. Creases and folds to the upper and lower flaps of the portfolio. Loose tissue guards folded and tanned before each plate. Paper control-stamp (or bookseller's ticket?) of the "Izdatel'stvo SP" (SP publishing house) with some glue residue to the long flap of the portfolio. Viktor Mikhailovitch Vasnetsov (1848-1926) was a Russian Revivalist painter, celebrated for his folkloric paintings. His work is closely associated with Russian romantic nationalism, a cultural identity-building ideology often built on historical or pseudo-historical literature (cf. the brothers Grimm in Germany, or the Pre-Raphaelites in Britain). Vasnetsov's major work was a cycle of frescoes for St. Volodomyr's Cathedral in Kyiv. His time in the Ukrainian capital dovetailed with a rising emphasis on the medieval state of Kyivan Rus' and the mythography surrounding it. Once settled back in Moscow, he continued to develop his fairy-tale paintings, including making sets for Rimsky-Korsakov's opera Sadko. During this period he became involved with the Tretyakov Gallery, the preeminent collection of Russian art, which Pavel Mikhailovitch Tretyakov presented to the state in 1892. Vasnetsov designed the façade of the building, and served as a major regent and patron, providing the funds for many of its major acquisitions. Eventually many of his own paintings entered the gallery, including Bogatyrs (Russian wandering knights, vityaz), his most famous. Such was his popularity that the present portfolio was commissioned from one of the great photographers, Karl Andreyevich Fischer (ca. 1850's-ca. 1920's), a co-founder of the Russian Photographic Society and its chairman from 1898 to 1907. He too was closely associated with the Tretyakov Gallery, and published its catalogue in 1899. Doubtless the present item arose from the two artists' work together. The text leaf includes stories and poems from traditional fairy-tales, epics, Herodotus (for the battle of the Scythians), Lermontov, Pushkin, Ostrovsky and Tyutchev. The paintings reproduced depict well-known Russian fairy-tales -- especially those of Alexander Afanasyev, the Russian Grimm -- including the Ivan Tsarevich, the Firebird and the Gray Wolf (Ivan Tsarevitch, the knight at the crossroads), and The Snow Maiden. The portfolio is exceptionally rare (in the West; Russian records are largely inaccessible). Only three copies are recorded on OCLC (Vassar, Amherst (both with a different publisher: A.I. Mamontova) and the University of British Columbia; the New York Public Library has a microfiche), and none at auction or on the market. Plates 1. Iz" Lermontova (From Lermontov) 2.

Add to basketIn the larger and rarer format --- Impressive and scarce edition, of large folio format, of this famous work by the two Russian classics. Viktor Vasnetsov's design for The Song of Wise Oleg "served as an impetus to the revival and further development of national traditions in book art" (Fedorova, our translation): styled as an a…ncient Russian manuscript, the book unfolds like an accordion, telling the tragic story of prince Oleg. Vasnetsov created decorative initials, head- and endpieces, along with four chromolithographed drawings: 'Meeting with the Wizard', 'Farewell to the Horse', 'He Stepped on the Skull of the Horse', 'Trizna' (a funeral feast). The font, resembling early Cyrillic script, was designed by book artist Viktor Zamirailo. The work was published in quarto format in St Petersburg in 1899 to commemorate Aleksandr Pushkin's centenary. This second edition, issued during World War I, is significantly rarer and in a much larger format, with a redesigned upper wrapper. Provenance: Physical description:Large folio (48 x 34 cm). [6] ll. incl. 4 colour plates tipped-in and wrappers. Accordion-style publisher's printed wrappers. Condition:A bit stained and cockled from waterstaining along edges throughout, occasional light foxing, still a pleasant example in spite of the vulnerability of the production. Bibliography.

Contact seller5-star sellerFirst Edition. First printing with the Vasnetsov illustrations. Quarto (33cm x 23cm ca.); accordion-style binding, opening to an eight-page panorama; printed in black and red throughout, with chromolithographed head- and tail-pieces and four chromolithographed text illustrations. Slight soil and wear; brief splits at folds; inte…rnally fresh and unmarked, with the illustrations still fresh and vividly colored; Very Good or better overall. A lavishly-illustrated work, published to celebrate the centenary of Pushkin's birth. Vasnetsov (1848-1926) was a key figure among Russian Silver Age illustrators, a strong influence on such successors as Ivan Bilibin, Boris Zvorikin, and Mikhail Vrubel. The illustrations for this work ".are exemplary for Vasnetsov's intense national style that soon would become visible in the works of Ivan Bilibin and other artist-illustrators.it would be difficult in this period of nationalistic revival to find a more talented and committed artist" (Lemmens p.48). The illustrations, printed at the State Dispatch Office in St. Petersburg, are rendered here in brilliant chromolithography, as are the ornamental initials and head- and tail-pieces by Viktor Zamira?lo. A large-paper reissue appeared later (ca. 1914) under the Moscow imprint of A.A. Levenson; all editions are uncommon, especially in such nice condition. LEMMENS pp.47-48 (pictured).

Contact seller4-star sellerThere is a page dated December 25, 1910 by the author: this is quite likely a printed facsimile rather than actually signed. There is an inscription on the endpaper, probably real and not printed, dated 1912 (probably by the text author, not the artist). Oblong cloth, approximately 9 and 1/2 by 13 inches, circa 1910. The book pr…esents 75 traditional Russian proverbs or sayings, each with an accompanying tipped in illustration after works by Vasnetsov. Although the book went through several printings by 1914, all are uncommon in the market. Viktor Mikhailovich Vasnetsov (1848-1926) was a beloved artist of historical, mythological and folklore subjects. He was also an inventive and accomplished architect, and helped design uniforms for the Russian Army. This book presents a series of artworks originally undertaken in the 19th century to illustrate well known Russian sayings. Condition: Overall good with some scuffing and slight soiling to covers, age toning/darkening to pages, inner hinges cracked but binding quite sound, remnants of an old label on front cover, some stamps and prices written at rear endpaper, old stamp and old inscription on front endpaper, old ink inscription and old abrasion on inner pastedown, a few pages very slightly nicked at edge, corners and tips a bit bumped, cloth ties worn, with rear tie partly lacking, some minor shelf and handling wear, overall still a sound copy. Text entirely in Russian.
