About This Item
Favorsky V. The Tale of Igor's Campaign. Engravings. 1962.
"The Tale of Igor's Campaign" is a monument of literature of Ancient Russia, telling about the unsuccessful campaign of Russian princes led by Igor Svyatoslavich Novgorod-Seversky against the Polovtsians in 1185. The text of the "Tale", included in a manuscript collection of the XVI century, was accidentally discovered at the end of the XVIII century by A. I. Musin-Pushkin, and the first publication took place in 1800. This work has become the most important element of Russian culture, studied in all schools. A whole field of research has emerged, a whole literature around the "Tale". Many artists, starting from the 19th century, based their works on the text of this monument. Since the 1930s, two different types of monument illustration have been developing in book illustration: historical and documentary (publication of auxiliary materials) and artistic, related to the reinterpretation of the "Tale". The second type is represented primarily by several series of engravings by V. A. Favorsky.
A rare art edition in excellent condition. Not available for sale and in libraries outside Russia.
