The Feather of Finist the Falcon. [Peryshko Finista Yasna-Sokola]. Fairy tales. St. Petersburg, 1902. Drawings by I. A. Bilibin. Permitted by the censorship. In Russian. Hauntingly beautiful chromolithographic images by Ivan Bilibin. 32x26 cm, 12 pp., featuring 7 chromolithographs in addition to front cover and the rear cover vignette. Two of the chromos within are full page. In addition, there is the chromo decorative borders, very much a part of the integral whole. This work is part of a series of indigenous fairy tales the Russian government commissioned Bilibin to illustrate. To do so Bilibin paid meticulous care to actual traditional costume, architecture and decor. The work cemented Bilibin's renown, which was also built on stage design. SKUMS000338 kn_nat
