a fine example of one of Vasnetsov's most famous illustrated works, published to commemorate the anniversary of Pushkin's birth. The Song of Wise Oleg is based on a chronicle by Nikolay Karamzin and remains one of the most well-known Russian poems of all time.

Illustrated in the style of a medieval manuscript it is richly embellished with head and tail pieces and decorated initials. The Song became a turning point in the development of the book as an integrated art form and was presented at the International Exhibition for Book Printing and Graphics in 1914.

Small folio (33 x 23 cm). 6 accordion-folded leaves, with a printed page as front cover and another as rear cover, chromolithographed illustrations throughout; light spotting and soiling, mostly on the external flaps.

Kilgour 897; Seslavinskiy, Girlianda 189.
