Catalogue Note

This enlarged edition is not an exact reprint of the 1913 original; the order of the entries has changed, text has been altered or left out, and new selections and illustrations have been added rather randomly by the acting editor-publisher, Shershenevich. The text comprises work by the Burliuks, Kamensky, Khlebnikov, Kruchenykh, Livshits and Mayakovsky.
