MAYAKOVSKY, Vladimir Vladimirovich (1893-1930). Ia! [I!]. Moscow: G.L. Kuz’min and S.D. Dolinskii, 1913. First edition of the author’s first illustrated book of poems. This work was imbued with the ideals of Russian futurists, with whom the poet had been collaborating, both in literary and graphic terms. The four poems were devoted to ‘aspects of the poet’s life in a kind of urban inferno, and featured the poet himself as a modern parody of Christ the Saviour’ (Terras). The superb lithographs were produced by V. Chekrygin and L. Shekhter. Not in Kilgour. Terras, p.277. Octavo (235 x 170mm). With lithographed illustrations throughout (slight browning, leaves repaired at margins). In the original wrappers (repaired at margins and spine).
