"Roaring Parnassus", Anthology of Futurist Poetry – St. Petersburg, 1914 – Illustrations by David Burliuk, Pavel Filonov, Ivan Puni and Others
Рыкающий Парнас, Футуристы [Roaring Parnassus: Futurists]. [St. Petersburg]: Журавль, [1914]. Russian.
Anthology of poetry, opening with the Futurist manifesto "Go to Hell!" and including poems by members of the Futurist group "Hylaea", among them Vladimir Mayakovsky, Aleksei Kruchenykh, Elena Guro, Velimir Khlebnikov, and David Burliuk. Alongside the poems are printed illustrations by Pavel Filonov, David Burliuk, Vladimir Burliuk, Olga Rozanova, and Ivan Puni. The anthology was printed on papers of varying thicknesses and colors. Its cover was designed by
Ivan Puni (Иван Альбертович Пу́ни; 1892-1956).
Due to its provocative nature, and especially because of some of the illustrations printed in it, the Russian censorship banned the volume's distribution, and copies were confiscated immediately after printing. Only a few dozen or at most a few hundred copies were smuggled out of the printing house and distributed. Several of this anthology's illustrators were put on trial.
[2], 115, [3], 117-119, [3] pages, 22.5 cm. Good condition. Minor creases and stains. Minor creases and tears to edges of cover; open tears to spine.
MoMA 92.
