1909rif. 6207First edition of the complete translation of Wilde's 'The Young King' in book format. First edition of this translation. This story was first translated into Russian and published in the magazine 'Pravda' in June 1905. It subsequently appeared several times in different collections but in an abridged version most likely because the censorship authorities deemed that the story depicted injustices in the social system and ways to address them which could be potentially dangerous for the regime at that time Roznatovskaia 2000. The translation was prepared by Wilde's foremost translator Mikhail Likiardopulo Popandopulo; 1883–1925 a journalist and secretary of the symbolist magazine 'Vesy'. Likiardopulo produced fine translations of almost all of Wilde's works. He was acquainted with Alfred Douglas and Robert Ross who allowed him to copy Wilde's 'Florentine Tragedy' a fragment of a never-completed play. Likiardopulo was reputedly a spy for Russia Greece and England. In 1919 he emigrated to Great Britain and his translations ceased to be published in Russia. The illustrations and cover design were crafted by Armenian painter and art critic Vardges Sureniants 1860–1921. Sureniants studied at the Moscow School of Painting Sculpture and Architecture as well as the Academy of Fine Arts in Munich. The illustrations were reproduced by zincography and the title text and headpieces are printed in brown. OCLC locates three copies of this edition: in the British Library the Stanford Library and the UCLA Library.
