‎26 Postcards of Scenes From the Moscow Art Theatre Production of The Cherry Orchard‎

‎Moscow: A.A. Gorozhankin and K.A. Fisher 1911-12. <br /><br />Twenty-six postcards each 5 1/2 x 3 3/8 inches 138 x 84 mm featuring black-and-white photos of scenes from Anton Chekhov's The Cherry Orchard and text descriptions in Russian. <br /><br />The Cherry Orchard opened at the Moscow Art Theatre on January 17 1904 in a production directed by Konstantin Stanislavsky just six months before the death of Chekhov. In the play a family is forced to sell their estate at auction to pay their debts. The buyer Lopakhin plans to cut down the family's beloved cherry orchard so he can build cottages on the estate. <br /><br />These postcards feature cast members from early productions: Olga Knipper as Madame Ranevskaya the estate owner Maria Lilina as Anya her daughter Margarita Savitskaya as Varya foster daughter Stanislavsky himself as Gaev Ranevskaya's brother Leonid Leonidov as Lopakhin Vladimir Gribunin as Simeonov-Pishchik a landowner Elena Muratova as Charoltta Ivanovna a governess Alexander Artyom as Firs an elderly valet Vasily Kachalov as Trofimov a student and Ivan Moskvin as Yephikhov a bookkeeper. <br /><br />Olga Knipper was the wife of Chekhov Maria Lilina was the wife of Stanislavsky and Ivan Moskvin became director of the Moscow Art Theatre in 1943. All three were among the 39 original members of the troupe when Stanislavsky founded it in 1898 with Vladimir Nemirovich-Danchenko. <br /><br />Chekhov conceived The Cherry Orchard as a comedy but Stanislavsky turned it into a tragedy angering Chekhov. "My play opened yesterday so my mood is none too good" Chekhov wrote in a letter to author and dramatist Ivan Leontyev known as Shcheglov quoted in Laurence Senelick Anton Chekhov's Selected Plays. New York: W.W. Norton 2005 page 456. And in late March 1904 writing from Yalta Chekhov declared in a letter to his wife Olga Knipper the star of the play: "One thing I can say: Stanislavsky has butchered the play for me." Senelick page 457. <br /><br />While Chekhov may not have liked the play the public certainly did. Indeed in a note on the verso of one card an anonymous writer says translating: "we have just got back from the Art Theatre where we saw The Cherry Orchard. There are no words to tell how wonderful it was." The note appears on a card showing Stanislavsky and his wife Maria Lilina. <br /><br />A.A. Gorozhankin published two of the cards in 1911. The famous Moscow photographer Karl Fisher issued all the others. Two of them not identified as the Moscow Art Theatre production are dated 1912. <br /><br />A fascinating set of postcards depicting scenes from one of the theatre world's most acclaimed plays. <br /><br />CONDITION: Inscription in ink to the verso of one card stains or soiling to many cards lower corner of one card of Olga Knipper damaged with slight loss of text; old bookseller's stamp to the verso of half a dozen cards; all a bit rubbed or edge-worn. About Good overall. <br /><br /> A.A. Gorozhankin and K.A. Fisher books‎

‎Masterpieces of Chikamatsu. The Japanese Shakespeare. Transl. by A. Miyamori. Rev. by Robert Nichols. With 74 Illustrations. The Yamato Society Tokyo.‎

‎London, Kegan Paul, Trench, Trubner + Co. / NY, E. P. Dutton, 1926. XIV; 359 S.; Illustrationen auf Tafelseiten; 24 cm. Goldgepr. Originalleinenband.‎

‎Gutes Exemplar; Einband stw. berieben; einige Seiten u. Schnitt gering fleckig; geringfügige Gebrauchsspuren. - Englisch. - Chikamatsu Monzaemon (ursprünglich: Sugimori Nobumori; * 1653; ? 6. Januar 1725 in Osaka) war ein japanischer Dramatiker. Er schrieb über 150 Stücke, darunter Werke für das Kabuki, das traditionelle bürgerliche Theater Japans und für das Marionettenspiel Joruri. Sein bekanntestes Stück wurde das Melodram Kokusenya-kassen (zu deutsch: Der Kampf des Kokusenya), das 1715 uraufgeführt wurde. Chikamatsu war der Sohn eines Samurai. Er war der erste Schriftsteller, der für das Puppentheater Stücke schrieb, die vom Puppenspieler mehr verlangten als bloße mechanische Fähigkeiten. Seine Werke gelten als die ersten literarischen Werke für Puppentheater in Japan. Überhaupt wird er bis heute als einer der bedeutendsten Dramatiker seines Landes angesehen. ? (wiki) // ? Chikamatsu Monzaemon, known as " The Japanese Shakespeare". All episodical details are omitted from The Tethered Steed, and passages consisting of "words, words, words," have been very much condensed, so that the play as it is now offered to the reader is less than half the length of the original. With regard to the other plays, the translation has been invariably made with such con-scientious fidelity as is consistent with clarity. It must be borne in mind, however, that certain narrative elements and, in particular, the michiyuki or " songs of travel", which abound in classical quotations, similes, metaphors and above all in the most exquisite word-play, offer almost insuperable obstacles even to the hand of a master - translator. Where such difficulties are encountered any attempt at literal translation is of necessity abandoned and I have endeavoured to convey the general sense in my own phraseology. This unavoidable paraphrasing is the more unfortunate in that half the special significance and grace of Chikamatsu is to be found in these very passages, written in excellent verse and displaying to the fullest advantage the beauty and music of the Japanese tongue. ...
