(Miniature Book)
Russian Folk Tale: The Golden Egg.
Dubna: Phoenix, 1996. (14)ff. One of fifty copies. Printed in three languages: Russian, English, and German. With brilliant handcolored illustrations by Vladimir Markov on practically every page, including numerous double-page illustrations and pictorial endpapers. Bound in red lacquer, the covers bear folkloric, textile-inspired designs in gilt and red. Appropriately, the book is shaped like an egg, and the egg theme is carried throughout: many of the text pages are white with a yellow yolk-like circle in the center. Very fine.
