AKHMATOVA, Anna (1888-1966). Vecher. [Evening.] St Petersburg: Tsekh poetov, 1912.
The rare first edition of Akhmatova's first book, one of only 300 copies published. RBH and ABPC record no copy having been offered at auction. The book brought Akhmatova immediate fame, and was reprinted more than a dozen times in several translations, even if Akhmatova herself described it as the work of a 'frivolous little girl'.
Octavo (213 x 142mm). Frontispiece after Evgenii Lansere, printed in pink and blue on glossy white paper; engraved head- and tailpieces (very faint dampstain in the bottom corner of the frontispiece). Original illustrated wrappers printed in dark blue (expertly rebacked; faint dampstain on back cover; light wear to the extremities; small repair to a short tear). Provenance: penciled inscription on the half title ('Van'ka skazala...').
