Remarques
Rowell/ Wye 228; Compton, Russian Avant-Garde Books 1917-34, p.18 (and illustration on frontcover): "Through his friendship with Kamensky, he [Lentulov] was invited in 1919 to make a cover for Reality. Verses for which he produced an elaborate topical design showing workers, factories and red flags. This anthology brought together a motley group of poets: as well as Kamensky, there was the Futurist sympathiser, Boris Pasternak, the Symbolist Andrei Bely, the independant 'Ruralist' Sergei Esenin, and Riurik Ivnev, Anatoly Mariengof and Vadim Shershenevich."
