Catalogue Note
One of the most important books from the Lirika group. The conservative nature of Bobrov's poems is given a new and avant-garde dimension by Goncharova's cubist illustrations, her earliest lithographs, some of which feature the "stone maidens" found atop Scythian burial mounds in the Ukraine.
