Sto chetyre risunika k poeme N. V. Gogolia 'Mertvye Dushi' [One hundred and four illustrations for 'Dead Souls' by N.V.Gogol].
St Petersburg, D. D. Fedorov, 1892
In 1892, the bookseller D. Fedorov bought from Goryainov's heirs the rights to both the published and unpublished drawings engraved by Bernardsky. In 1892 he published them all under the title 'One Hundred Drawings for Gogol's Poem', and then, in the same year, a second and third edition appeared. For the third edition he added four more illustrations, one for the announcement of the first edition in 1846 and three drawings from the collection of the bibliophile, I. A. Efremov. The title was therefore changed from one hundred to one hundred and four - making this third edition the most complete.
4to (300 x 220 mm); 104 illustrations in black and white after Agin; original wrapper bound in, stamp with 'premia zhurnala "nashe vremia"' to wrapper and some soiling; later half red morocco with title in gilt to spine, a very good copy.
