An interesting interpretation of Pushkin's fairy tale, The Tale of the Dead Princess and the Seven Knights, with illustrations by Rimma Brailovskaya (1877-1959). Brailovskaya grew up in Tartu and moved Moscow with her artist husband Leonid Brailovsky at the turn of the century. She worked mostly as a painter but was a skilled technician in embroidery, appliqué and tapestry making, drawing much of her creativity from traditional Russian religious and folk motifs.

The Brailovskys emigrated in 1918, first to Constantinople and Belgrade before settling in Rome in 1925. Ancient Rus' continued to provide inspiration for the pair and their artwork, but they adopted the faith of their new home and converted to Catholicism.

First edition, 4to (30.5 x 24 cm); 12pp., chromolithographs throughout after Brailovskaia with gilt detail; original printed wrappers, ownership stamp to upper cover, spine partially split at top, short close tears and minor soiling, wear to corners a good copy.
