I was going to post this over in books but thought the art visitors might like this. this is a soft cover book printed in Russia in 1963 with his biography and 25 color prints of his works. large book measuring 10 1/2" x 14". only thing is i don't read Russian and can't seem to find anything like it. all the pictures are in color and all the others I have seen are in black & white. Interesting thing is all the art work, the titles are in Russian, English,French, And German Mikey
Is the second photo the title page? Or is there even a title page? I'm guessing this was published in Moscow (Москва) since I can see the last two letters of the city name in the third photo, cut off. I found somebody's listing in Abebooks for several items that are similar, from 1963. Can't tell if any are the same item. They have a very ambitious price. Not sure yours would be worth that. https://www.abebooks.com/servlet/BookDetailsPL?bi=22466590419 https://www.abebooks.com/servlet/BookDetailsPL?bi=22466557562
Thanks for looking Fig. Those are hard cover books and I have seen a few of them. here is the front cover without the dust jacket and the cover page.
Here's another copy on a Russian site - no substantiative info (google translate) https://translate.google.ca/transla...%B4%D1%83%D0%BA%D1%86%D0%B8%D0%B9&prev=search (At the very least, it's interesting that the translation sees "Make a bid" and "Place bid" as "Make a bet" and "Place bet".) search "В. СУРИКОВ Москва 1963 г Альбом репродукций" and you might find more.
The "Discarded" stamp probably means it's an ex-library book. Those are a bit less valuable. Looked up ruble to US dollar exchange rate. The 3499 rubles in the link from moreotherstuff is the same as $57.98.
