Description

Incredibly scarce letter from one of the foremost Russian directors of the 20th century

Russian theatre director and actor (1874–1940) known for his experimental works and the creation of a new acting system called biomechanics; he was executed for treason after a forced confession. Very rare ALS in Cyrillic, one page, 8.25 x 10.5, June 6, 1930. Untranslated letter to Russian writer Vladimir Bienstoch in Paris. In fine condition, with intersecting folds and filing holes to the left edge. One of the most important Russian theater directors since Stanislavsky, anything from Meyerhold is incredibly difficult to find and highly sought-after: this is the first we have ever offered. Pre-certified PSA/DNA and RR Auction COA.
