[Kevin Moss]

A friend asked me to forward this, in case anyone is interested.

PUSHKIN, Aleksandr Sergeevich, Yevgeniy Onegin.

A. I. Mamontov for V. G. Got'e, Moskva, 1893. Tall 8-vo 10 7/8" X  7
3/8" (27 x 19 cm). Half-title, title, dedication to P.A. Pletnev, 243
pp., table of contents, 8 plates and 16 illustrations in text, all by
K. A. Fisher after Pavel Petrovich Sokolov and L. L. Belyankin. Cover
is red morocco leather over soft cover, gilt rule to covers, flat
spine decorated and lettered in gilt, top edge gilt.  Endpapers
exhibit an interesting cameo pattern (see photos).

This copy does not contain the frontispiece full-page illustration of
the Fekula Collection copy for sale by Bernard J. Shapiro.  This same
illustration is however bound further on in the text. The copy is
numbered 129 of 140 (as opposed to the "limited edition of 200" of the
Fekula/Shapiro).  The endpapers are torn partially at the joint of the
binding, and the cover corners are slightly bent and frayed.  The red
morocco leather cover is lightly spotted in several places.  Pages
throughout are evenly toned; there is no staining nor foxing.
Provenance:  owned by daughter of Andreas (Andrei) Voinov of St.
Petersburg and Tsarskoe Selo.

PRICE:  $2235.
