This exquisite pre-revolutionary edition of Alexander Pushkin’s "The Miserly Knight"—one of his famous Little Tragedies—was released circa 1912 by the renowned publishing house of Alexey Suvorin. The book is notable for its large format and its striking visual presentation, featuring illustrations by the talented graphic artist Sergei Fedorovich Ploshinsky. Ploshinsky was a prominent figure in early 20th-century Russian book and postcard design, known for his atmospheric depictions of Russian antiquity and classical literature. His work here captures the gothic tension and psychological drama of Pushkin's verse. Published during the twilight of the Russian Empire, this volume exemplifies the high standards of Silver Age book production. It remains a prized item for collectors of Pushkiniana, fine Russian graphics, and those interested in the history of the Suvorin press.
