This is the first edition of one of Russian's rarest children's books, 'The Primus Stove, Poems for Children'.⠀
.⠀
'Children’s books are rare because children, being children, are not always careful with their books', says Sven Becker, Head of our Books and Manuscripts department in New York.⠀
.⠀
'Additionally, many of Mandelshtam’s books were destroyed after he fell from political grace in 1923. Being found to own one of his book could mean a long sentence in Siberia!'⠀
.⠀
Osip Emil'evich Mandel'Shtam (1891-1938), author, and Mstislav Valerianovich Dobuzhinskii (1875-1957), illustrator, 'The Primus Stove. Poems for Children', St Petersburg: Vremia, 1925. Estimate: £8,000-12,000.⠀
