Some moisture damage to rear wrapper and last few pages not affecting text. Still about very good. A white émigré publication this collection of scholarly articles on Alexander Pushkin is one of the early publications of the Russian Institute in Prague. Founded in 1923 by a group of Russian émigré professors with the mission of helping Russian students "obtain quality education in Prague" the institute counted 900 registered students by the end of the first year. As a "national poet" Pushkin 1799-1837 had great symbolic significance among the white émigrés who had to leave Russia fleeing the Bolshevik regime. While the Bolsheviks presented Pushkin as a revolutionary anti-monarchist because of his early connections with the Decembrists the émigré intelligentsia emphasized Pushkin as the standard bearer of Russian high culture. This publication was yet another manifestation of the author's significance for the community.<br/><br/>The institute produced its first scholarly publication in 1928 with this collection published just a year later. The collection includes contributions by significant personalities such as Professor E. V. Spektorskii former President or "rector" of Kiev University A. L. Bem famous Dostoevsky scholar S. V. Zvadskii former minister of Justice of the Ukrainian state "Hetmanite" during the Russian Civil War P. B. Struve prominent Marxist who changed his views after the Bolshevik Revolution becoming a foreign minister to the White Army gen. Wrangel during the Russian Civil War among others.

Published before during and after WWII during the German occupation even well into the Soviet occupation our set is preserved in museum-quality condition internally immaculate. <br/><br/>¶ It is a remarkable fact that this series was officially issued as the "annual" yearbooks of the Czech Amateur Photography Club and includes the works of highly influential Czech photographs such as Josef Sudek Jaromir Funke Villam Salka Mikulas Pek Jaroslav Seifert Josef Zeman Alois Zych Frantisek Drtikol Karl Mahler Jaroslav Krupka Mirko wagner Josef Mikulka Jindrich Styrsky Karel Plicka R. Sima K. Muller J. Tutsch and several of the leading Czech commercial studios. This annual publication was edited by Augustin Skarda Josef Zeman Josef Bures and others; the photographs were chosen by the editorial committee of the Monthly "Fotograficky Obzor." Each volume has 64 photographic plates with valuable technical details about negative size shutter speed lighting and the camera employed plus fascinating introductory texts usually translated into French English and German in the 1946 and 1949 issues the German text is replaced by a Russian translation. <br/><br/>Our set is absolutely complete with all 13 volumes including the two volumes published during the German Occupation: vol. 10: "Zeme ceska domov muj" The Czech Country is My Home and vol. 11: "Pamatky Cech a Moravy" The Curiousites of Bohemia and Moravia are in original boards apparently following the wrappers issue. The "Occupation" volumes are by no means vehicles of German propoganda; in the words of Josef Bures "these were of course designed by the period in which they had been created; these yearbooks helped to strengthen the national consciousness during the war-time. Their pictorial contents either dealt with history or were absorbed in the beauties of the Czech and Moravian country. In the first yearbook the photographs expressed a conscious escape from the grim presence and the admiration of the national past in the second yearbook the love of the native country strengthened by suffering" from the Preface in vol. 12. <br/><br/>MUST BE SEEN TO BE FULLY APPRECIATED.
