This is a lifetime edition of satirical stories by Vladimir Alexandrovich Ashkenazi (1873–1941), who wrote under the pseudonym V. Azov and was a prominent contributor to the legendary "Satyricon" magazine. The book is a prime example of pre-revolutionary Russian political and social satire, with stories sharply critiquing contemporary life. Its value is greatly enhanced by the artistic design of Nikolai Vasilyevich Remizov (1887–1975), a leading caricaturist and co-owner of the "New Satyricon," whose distinctive style defined the journal's visual identity. Published in the famous "Satyricon Library" series in 1911, this volume represents a significant artifact of the Silver Age's satirical culture. The specific copy's condition—with the original illustrated cover preserved on a sturdy cardboard binding—testifies to its long history as a valued item.
