Published in the series *Teatralnyje memuary*, No. IV. — Foreword by P. I. Novitsky. - On the endpaper, EL Lissitzky is listed as the designer of the two-color cover title, after W. M. Khodashevich’s name was pasted over by the publisher. This was because only a small portion of the limited print run appeared with Lissitzky’s cover title. - Untrimmed; owner’s note on the verso of the flyleaf and on the half-title page; p. 5 bears a private library stamp; some pages have a slight watermark; binding slightly loose.
