This 1892 St. Petersburg edition represents a high-quality, late Imperial publication of the complete poetic works of Alexei Vasilievich Koltsov (1809-1842), a celebrated Russian poet known for his deeply lyrical and folk-inspired verse. Published by the firm of A.F. Marx, known for its affordable yet well-produced series, this volume was edited and prefaced by the prominent literary critic Arseny Vvedensky. A key bibliophilic feature is the fine frontispiece portrait of Koltsov, executed as a steel engraving by the renowned Leipzig printing house F.A. Brockhaus, reflecting the international craftsmanship in Russian publishing of the era. The presence of an owner's binding suggests this copy was individually prized. This book is a significant artifact of 19th-century Russian literary culture, capturing the posthumous canonization of a national poet during the twilight of the Tsarist period.
