<p><strong>Finely illustrated edition of '<em>The Cricket on the Hearth</em>' 1845 in Russian. </strong>One of 4 000 copies published.</p><p>Cover vignettes and five full-page woodcuts were created by graphic artist <strong>Aleksey Kravchenko</strong> 1889–1940 renowned as a master of woodcut. He studied at Simon Hollosy's art school in Munich and at the Moscow School of Painting Sculpture and Architecture under Konstantin Korovin and Valentin Serov.<br />Russian artists first illustrated Dickens' works at the end of the 19th century. In the 1920s a new generation of Russian graphic artists known for their avant-garde approach revisited Dickens and prepared illustrated editions of '<em>Great Expectations</em>' Mitrokhin and Budogoskii 1929 and 1935 '<em>Hard Times</em>' Favorsky 1933 and '<em>The Posthumous Papers of the Pickwick Club</em>' Milashevskii 1933. Aleksey Kravchenko was among the pioneers of this movement.<br />The translator's name is not specified in the book; however the translation by Maria Shishmareva 1852–1939 is published here from the 7th volume of '<em>The Works of Charles Dickens</em>' 1894.</p><p>We couldn't trace any copy via OCLC.</p><p><em><strong>Please be advised that certain books in our collection may require an export permit for international shipping.
