About This Item
Rare multilingual edition from the prominent Russian private collection.
This multilingual edition was published in Russia 19 years after another edition, which included 'The Story of a Mother' in 15 languages. This edition also features translations into Ukrainian, Slovak, Serbian, Italian, Armenian, Tatar, and Hebrew.
The book was issued by the translator Peter Emanuel Hansen (1846-1930), a Danish-born individual who, along with his Russian wife Anna (1869-1942), translated works by Andersen and other Scandinavian authors. In 1917, Peter returned to Denmark, while Anna remained in Russia and died during the siege of Leningrad.
The cover design was crafted by the illustrator and art critic Mechislav (Franz) Dal'kevich (1861-1941), featuring Andersen's portrait engraved by the Russian etcher and wood engraver of German descent Vasily Mate (1856-1917), who is considered one of the major engravers in Russia during the late 19th century.
This copy is from the collection of the prominent collector, Old Believers activist, and type designer Mikhail Chuvanov (1890-1988).
