AKHMATOVA, Anna (1888-1966). U samogo moria [At the Very Edge of the Sea]. St Petersburg: Alkonost, 1921. Presentation copy of the first edition in book form of this poem, which had first appeared in the journal Apollon in 1915. It was Akhmatova’s first narrative poem, inspired by the relative idyllic context of her youthful years by the Black Sea – well before the upheaval (political and personal) which would occur between the two publications. The dedicatory inscription was penned by Akhmatova in the same year as the publication for the critic and playwright Pavel Alekseevich Shchegolev. Lesman 137; Rozanov 2062. 12mo (162 x 123mm). Original decorative printed wrappers (spine partly perished, wrappers worn at the edges). Provenance : Anna Akhmatova (presentation inscription to:) – Pavel Alekseevich Shchegolev (critic and playwright).
