Pushkin's classic fairy tale illustrated by the eminent artist Boris Zvorykin. Born in Moscow in 1872, Zvorykin devoted himself to decorative art after graduating from the Moscow Academy of Painting. He followed Ivan Bilibin's style inspired by medieval Russia and traditional folk culture, and became in his own right one of the greatest Russian book illustrators. Zvorykin left Russia after the Revolution and settled finally in Paris, where he found employment in the publishing house of H. Piazza.

First edition; small folio (32 x 26 cm); 12pp., illustrations throughout with 3 full-page after Boris Zworykin; original illustrated wrappers, some restoration, a very good copy.
