Qualche leggerissima e rara fioritura, alcune rare note a matita e nel complesso esemplare, in buone-ottime condizioni di conservazione. Seconda edizione della prima opera e prima edizione della seconda opera. Celebre e rara raccolta di poesie del Granduca di Russia, Konstantin Konstantinovic Romanov (Strel'na, 22 agosto 1858 – Pavlovsk, 15 giugno 1915). Nipote dell’Imperatore Nicola I di Russia fu un poeta e drammaturgo di motevole importanza. Quarto figlio del granduca Konstantin Nikolaevic di Russia e della moglie, la principessa Alessandra di Sassonia-Altenburg, Konstantin Romanov nacque nel palazzo di Costantino a Strelna. Nonostante che fin dalla giovanissima età dimostrasse grande predisposizione per la letteratura e assai minor interesse per la corriera militare, venne, come ogni Romanov, avviato a questa carriera nella Marina Imperiale Russa. Nella Marina non rimase a lungo, insoddisfatto dall’ambiente, passando ben presto nell'elitario reggimento Izmajlovskij della Guardia Imperiale dove, fra l’altro, si distinse, durante il servizio. Omosessuale dichiarato, nonostante questo, considerava di primaria importanza i propri “doveri” verso la famigli imperiale e così sposò, nel 1884, la principessa Elisabetta di Sassonia-Altenburg, sua seconda cugina, la quale, con il matrimonio, divenne la granduchessa Elizaveta Mavrikievna (in famiglia meglio conosciuta come Mavra) e dalla quale ebbe nove figli. Come padre e marito fu devoto e sempre attento alle necessità della moglie e dei figli. Pianista di talento, fu mecenate di numerosi artisti e divenne anche, per meriti, presidente della Società Musicale Russa. Amico di Pëtr Il'ic Cajkovskij, è comunque nella letteratura che diede il meglio. Poliglotta, a lui si devono alcune apprezzate traduzioni in russo di grandi classici tedeschi (Schiller e Goethe in primis) ed inglesi (era particolarmente orgoglioso della sua traduzione dell'Amleto). Esperto drammaturgo e poeta, produsse e diresse diverse rappresentazioni teatrali da lui scritte (ed almeno in un caso, vi prese parte anche come attore). Konstantin, insieme alla sua famiglia, fu tra i pochi membri della famiglia reale ad essere sempre accolti con piacere a corte da Alessandro III e dalla zarina Alessandra Feodorovna prima, poi da Nicola II che vedevano nella sua slavofilia artistica e nella sua devozione al dovere, un ottimo esempio, da contrapporre allo stile di vita mondano e frivolo di molti altri granduchi. Proprio per il suo carattere aperto e gioviale, fu uno dei più intimi amici della sorella della zarina, Elizaveta Fëdorovna moglie Sergej Aleksandrovic (fu uno dei pochi membri della famiglia reale ad esser presente al funerali di questi quando il Granduca venne ucciso con un attacco dinamitardo). Se pubblicamente la sua vita era caratterizzata da morigeratezza ed equilibrio, nel privato fu confusionaria e piena di contrasti. Anche la sua omosessualità non venne conosciuta in vita, ma divenne pubblica solo dopo la sua morte quando i suoi diari, videro la luce. Questi scritti schietti e diretti dimostrarono tutta la sensibilità e l’amore del Granduca per sua moglie e la sua famiglia ma anche i suoi sensi di colpa per i tradimenti con altri uomini ai quali non seppe resistere. Nei suoi diari Konstantin Romanov affermò che tra il 1893 ed 1899 egli si astenne dalla pratica di quello che egli definiva come il suo "peccato principale"; però, dopo la nascita del settimo figlio, Konstantin divenne un assiduo frequentatore dei numerosi bordelli maschili di San Pietroburgo. Nel 1904 egli scrisse nel suo diario che «ordinai al mio cocchiere [...] di andare, e continuai a piedi fin dopo la bath-house. Avevo intenzione di proseguire dritto [...] ma prima ancora di raggiungere il ponte Pevceskij, mi girai ed entrai. E così mi ero arreso ancora una volta, senza lottare poi molto contro le mie inclinazioni depravate». Il ciclo di resistenze e capitolazioni alle tentazioni è un tema molto frequente delle pagine di diario di Konstantin Romanov. Strinse diverse lunghe relazioni con uomini ma negli ultimi anni della sua vita, Konstantin scrisse nei suoi diari che la sua omosessualità, diventava sempre meno pressante, sia perché egli aveva raggiunto una propria pace interiore, sia a causa dell'età avanzata e della cattiva salute. Allo scoppio della Prima Guerra Mondiale, la coppia Granducale con l’intero entuorage, fu colta di sorpresa in territorio tedesco mentre era in vacanza. Fatta prigioniera come ostaggio, venne poi liberata su intervento diretto del Kaiser che permise alla famiglia di ritornare in Russia. Accompagnati al fronte, dovettero affrontare a piedi il passaggio dalle linee tedesche a quelle russe, cosa che segno profondamente la salute, già precaria del Granduca. La morte di uno dei figli in guerra segnò di nuovo Konstantin portandolo ad un tale livello di prostrazione che la morte lo colse il 15 giugno del 1915. La morte gli risparmiò di assistere allo sterminio di buona parte della sua famiglia dopo la fine dello Zar e della sua famiglia. Sopravvissero alla “Rivoluzione” solo la moglie e tre dei suoi figli (uno salvato per intercessione di Maksim Gor'kij che aveva cercato di salvare tutti i Romanov). L’opera qui presentata raccoglie i componimenti poetici scritti dal Granduca tra gli anni 1879 e 1888. I suoi componimenti, seppur anonimi, incontrarono il favore della critica, tanto che furono numeorsi gli articoli a lui dedicati su riviste specializzate e altrettanti furono i commenti entusiasti di numerosi celebri poeti russi che li lessero senza sapere chi ne fosse l’autore. Per ragioni legate alla sua posizione nella famiglia imperiale, Konstantin non firmò l’opera se non con le iniziali, anche se verso la fine della sua vita, l’attribuzione divenne pubblica, tanto che moltissime sue opere furono distrutti durante la “Rivoluzione” rendendole rare, quando non rarissime, specialmente quelle stampate prima del 1900 quando ancora, il Granduca, stampava le sue opere, anonime, in poche copie. Si sa ad esempio che la prima edizione dei suoi componimenti (qui presenti in seconda edizione), edita nel 1886, venne stampata in meno di mille copie, non per la vendita, ma regalate direttamente dal Granduca a personalità ed amici a lui vicini. Allo stesso modo si comportò il Granduca per la stampa della seconda parte dei suoi componimenti nel 1889. Stampò, sempre in circa 1000 copie, la seconda raccolta dei suoi componimenti e decise di ristampare alcune copie, in seconda edizione, della prima raccolta da donare a personalità ed artisti che non conosceva ancora, al momento della stampa della prima edizione. Probabilmente Konstantin curò anche la legatura dei volumi, cosa che spiegherebbe la curiosa presenza delle sue iniziali al piatto anteriore del volume che noi presentiamo. Una terza raccolta poetica che raccoglieva i componimenti scritti tra il 1889 ed il 1899 venne pubblicata nel 1901. Rarità bibliografica.
1918rif. 39666Петроград Petrograd: ИздательÑтво «Свободное ИÑкуÑÑтво» Liberal Arts 1918. Limited First edition. Hardcover. poor to vg. 1/1000. Folio.157 1pp. Original printed dust-jacket over half green cloth and decorative paper covered boards. Pictorial endpapers. Decorative head- tailpieces and initials. Lavishly illustrated with 101 duo-tone photographic reproductions mounted onto heavy paper this handsome volume documents the amazing true story of a wealthy family's contribution to the arts and architecture in a little town of northern Russia. Solvychegodsk is located on the north bank of the Vychegda River not far from its confluence with the Northern Dvina. Despite its sleepy appearance Solvychegodsk contains two of the most elaborate examples of religious architecture and applied arts in all Russia. Founded in the 14th century Solvychegodsk was called the Stroganov town due to the rich local salt works owned by the Stroganov family. The family created a salt monopoly which brought them enormous wealth and Solvychegodsk became the center of a private empire. The family's achievements placed them in positions of exceptional influence both political and cultural. The family's lavish patronage of the arts started with the patriarch of the dynasty Anika Ioanniky Stroganov 1497-1570 whose primary contribution to Russian architecture is the Annunciation Cathedral begun in 1560 and apparently concluded in the early 1570s. The Cathedral contains a grandiose gilded iconstasis which was carved in Moscow by a team led by Grigori Ivanov and transported here in 1693. The origins of the famed Stroganoff school of iconography and the decorative arts can be seen here in opulent examples of enamel painting and other applied arts on display in the cathedral. Another architectural jewel built by the Stroganov family is the Presentation Cathedral whose soaring interior is created by a vaulting system of paired arches that support the large structure and its five cupolas. The magnificent icons within the Presentation Cathedral were painted on canvas instead of treated boards in a western style by a Stroganov painter Stepan Narykov. The striking photographs depict in detail all these splendors exterior and interior views of all the brick churches as well as frescoes icons and other artwork including some which were later destroyed by the Soviets. Written before the Bolshevik Revolution and published in its immediate aftermath this book is the last remaining testimony of the town's architectural and artistic jewels. Indeed the Soviet period would inflict much damage on the cultural heritage of Solvychegodsk. Of the town's twelve brick churches at the beginning of the 20th century eight were destroyed and two others left in ruined state. However the two Stroganov cathedrals still stand in their monumental glory. One of 1000 numbered copies of which this is No. 887. Dust-jacket partly creased and torn along edges. Head of spine slightly age-toned. Minor soiling along edges of covers. Text in Russian. DJ in overall poor to fair binding in good interior in very good condition.

First edition; 18 ½â x 12 ¼â ; newsprint single sheet recto only; folded with intersecting crease lines; a few small nicks and cuts to edges; light uniform age-toning; ruled with an intricate border and a stylized drawing of a crown; illustrated with two large photographs of Kirill and his wife Victoria Melita of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha – Feodorovna; very good condition. An apparently unrecorded piece of the Russian Imperial Family’s history the broadside was published by Kirill himself in France where he lived in exile after the October Revolution. Kirill Vladimirovich Romanov 1876 – 1938 was the son of Grand Duke Vladimir Alexandrovich Romanov and the grandson of Tsar Alexander II. His wife whom he married in 1905 without Tsar Nicholas II’s consent was his first cousin and the granddaughter of Queen Victoria. The marriage caused an uproarious scandal throughout the courts of the European nobility for the union was in open defiance of the Russian Orthodox Church’s ruling that first cousins could not marry and furthermore for the fact that Victoria Feodorovna had just divorced her first husband also a first cousin. During the February Revolution of 1917 Kirill swore allegiance to the Russian Provisional Government in hopes of ingratiating himself and possibly becoming a regent after Nicholas II’s impending abdication. Shortly after in June of 1917 the family escaped to Finland then Germany and finally to the tiny village of Saint-Briac in France. In 1922 four years after Nicholas II’s execution and two years before a London court order declared Nicholas’ brother Mikhail II legally dead Kirill published his current “declarationâ to his compatriots stating that he did not believe the news of Nicholas’ death and that he hoped his cousin would return to the throne but in the meantime the Russian people needed a “person in chargeâ to lead them. He continued on to state that until a definitive proof of the whereabouts of Mikhail Nicholas and his son Aleksei was presented or a Zemskii Sobor an assembly summoned by a tsar or a patriarch chose a new ruler he would appoint himself Guardian of the Sovereign’s Throne. His statement was endorced at the bottom of the broadside by his relative Prince Dmitrii Golitsyn-Muravlin. His aspirations were rivaled by Grand Duke Nikolai Nikolaevich Romanov grandson of Nicholas I but with the former’s death in 1929 Kirill would indeed become the undisputed leader of the monarchists. After claiming the throne he would become known as the “Soviet Tsarâ for his sympathies for the regime and his biggest support would come from an émigré monarchist organization styling itself “The Legitimists.â After his death Kirill was succeeded by his son Vladimir Kirilovich who proclaimed himself “Head of the Romanovsâ but this was never accepted by any other member of the Romanov family.
