There 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.
