Description: Two volumes, richly illustrated by Alexander Apsit, in Russian. Original artificial leather binding with cloth base, with gilt lettering on spines and front boards. Front boards each have two decorative copper relief embellishments which are hammered onto the board at top and bottom. Page edges have a decorative stamped motif. Spine edges are work and frayed. Interior bears one stamp and a penciled number. Decorative pastedowns illustrated in gold. Pages are lightly foxed but otherwise clean. Color illustrations are tipped-in plates with tissue covering, on heathered blue paper. Color illustrations are every few pages, with black and white illustrations inline with text on intermediate pages. War and Peace is a literary work by the Russian author Leo Tolstoy (1828-1910). Set during the Napoleonic Wars, the work comprises both a fictional narrative and chapters in which Tolstoy discusses history and philosophy. An early version was published serially beginning in 1865, after which the entire book was rewritten and published in 1869. The editor of this 1912 edition, Pavel Biryukov (1860-1931), was a biographer and friend of Leo Tolstoy. Alexander Apsit (1880-1943) was considered the founder of Soviet poster art. Hardcover, very good condition. 796 pages (vol I: 407, vol II: 389), quarto.
