The idea of creating this book did not arise by chance. The inspiration was a series of illustrations for the literary work that the artist Alexander Voitsekhovsky had produced previously.
Participants in the work on this publication:
Creator of the illustrations — Alexander Voitsekhovsky
Layout and cover design — Yevgeny Grigoryev
The dyeing and application of a design on the cover — Marionilla Salamatova
Binding work — Andrei Degtev, Andrei Kulikov
Calligraphic text on the cover — Marina Maryina
Proof-reading — Natalia Nesterova
Creator of the illustrations — Alexander Voitsekhovsky
Layout and cover design — Yevgeny Grigoryev
The dyeing and application of a design on the cover — Marionilla Salamatova
Binding work — Andrei Degtev, Andrei Kulikov
Calligraphic text on the cover — Marina Maryina
Proof-reading — Natalia Nesterova
The Russian-language text was printed using a special method. Some pages carry drawings alongside the text and also handwritten phrases.
The publication includes 17 drawings that were printed in a special way and are absolutely identical to the originals. Twelve of the pictures have been pasted onto pages of the book and accompany the text of the short story. The other five are on separate sheets and are contained in a flap attached to the back cover.
The binding of The Aristocratic Peasant Girl was done entirely by hand by the publishing house’s craftsmen, despite a print-run that is quite large for our firm.
Natural linen was used for the cover. The dyeing and application of a design were accomplished using the traditional method known as kubovaya naboika that was long considered lost in Russia. Today only a few people work in this technique, in which a resist pattern is block-printed onto the fabric before it is dipped in a tub of indigo dye.
The fabric for the cover of The Aristocratic Peasant Girl was made by Marionilla Salamatova, a textile artist from Sergiev Posad, north of Moscow, who is a specialist in this old craft
