    Description

    You are bidding on a RARE early softbound, 7-1/4"x 8-1/4" Russian publication of 1911 of Alexander Scriabin (1872-1915). (Note that this publication was printed before Scriabin's death). 2 pp preface; 3 silver colored lithographic type plates of Scriabin.
    There are numerous angel drawings on covers and pages which appear to be silver-tipped.
    I believe the authors are H.H. Evreinov (1879-1953) and Karatygin;  the drawings appear to be by N.R. Kalmakoff (1873-1955).
    I was able to ascertain some of this information on the internet.
    The page before the title page has a full page illustration with 12 angels in silver robes looking down to devils(?) burning in hell.
    Both front and back covers display this same angel logo.
    All 68 pages present. There is some separation of spine but all page intact to spine.
    I am confident there were limited copies of this 1911 printed.
    I note there are some 1915 publications similar to this published after Scriabin's death.
