About This Item

Moscow, Knebel', [1913]. . First edition; large 4to (30 x 23 cm), 12 pp., illustrated throughout by Narbut; original printed thick wrappers small stain to edge of cover, owner's initials in ink to top left of cover, a fine copy.
Russian translation of Hans Christian Andersen's tale, Springfyrene, wonderfully illustrated by one of Ukraine's greatest artists, Heorhiy Narbut. Prygun was published by Joseph Knebel, one of the most important figures in the history of Russian picture books. He prioritised illustration over text and was the first to specialise in children's book design. It was his belief that 'the child will quickly forget the content. But the illustration- its range of colours, its design - might forever leave a trace on the child's soul'. Prygun is from the 'gift series' which featured folktales from around the world. Benois said that each time a new book in the series was published it was as much of an event as a new art exhibit.
