Title: Zhurnal Inostrannoi Karrikatury, No. 3 and No. 4 (Journal of Foreign Caricatures)
Description: S.-Peterburg / Parizh (St. Petersburg / Paris), A. Dedenev / T-vo R. Golike i A. Vilborg, 1906. First Edition. First editions; 13 x 10 1/4 and 13 x 9 3/4; pp. [1], 2-7, [1]; stapled, wraps; numerous color illustrations; a few small nicks along spine; very mild age-toning to margins; very good condition. The last two of only four issues ever published of this rare, pre-Revolutionary journal, it was described by the editor as a magazine of "easy humor" and a "bourgeois publication for the layman." Part risque and part humor, the journal featured veiled, sexually-suggestive caricatures and short stories and jokes, as well as several advertisements for local businesses. OCLC lists one microfilm copy at NYPL; none in the American trade (as of February 2020). Very good .
