Possibly the most influential and famous of the post-revolutionary art and literature journals Zhar-Ptitsa Firebird was first printed in Berlin in 1921. A total of 14 issues were published at irregular intervals from 1921 to 1926. A magnificent journalistic endeavor it represented the Russian culture abroad and challenged the boundaries between the Bolshevik agents and the immigrant intellectuals at the time. Contributors included Konstantin Somov â a brilliant artist who immigrated to the United States after the revolution but finding the atmosphere âabsolutely alien to his artâ he eventually ended up in Paris; Alexander Benois â the founding member of Mir Iskusstva; Ivan Bilibin â the illustrator and stage designer who moved to Paris after the October Revolution but longing for his country returned home in 1936 to ultimately die during the Siege of Leningrad; Natalia Goncharova â the great niece of Alexander Pushkin and one of the most revered Russian Avant-garde artists â and many others including all the members of Mir Iskusstva. The latter was not only an art journal but an artistic movement which was said to have revolutionized European art at the beginning of the 20th century. Vengerov Staraia Russkaia Kniga 105.

190444076Philadelphia: George W. Jacobs & Co 1904. First Edition. 16mo 15cm. Gilt-decorated blue cloth boards; 248pp. Frontispiece portrait of Henry Ward Beecher. Slight external wear a few instances of pencil marginalia; still a clean VG copy. No editorial credit is given for this hodge-podge of religious wit and wisdom presumably intended as a sourcebook for ministers of the stand-up variety. Includes a chapter of "Beecheriana" - alas not as one might expect or wish a collection of jokes at Beecher's expense but rather a selection of anecdotes casting a worshipful light on Beecher's own wealthy store of pulpit humor making no mention of his highly-publicized adulterous escapades with his best friend's wife.
