Ivan Yakovlevich Bilibin (1876-1942) from 1899 to 1903. illustrated seven Russian folk tales: “Sister Alyonushka and Brother Ivanushka”, “White Duck”, “The Frog Princess”, “Marya Morevna”, “The Tale of Ivan the Tsarevich, the Firebird and the Gray Wolf”, “The Feather of Finista Yasna” -Falcon”, “Vasilisa the Beautiful”. These tales (six books in total) were published by the State Papers Procurement Expedition, the best printing enterprise in the Russian Empire at that time. From the very beginning, Bilibin’s books were distinguished by their patterned designs and bright decorativeness. The artist did not create individual illustrations, he strove for an ensemble: he drew the cover, illustrations, ornaments, font - everything was stylized as an old manuscript. The names of the fairy tales are written in Slavic script. To read, you need to look closely at the intricate design of the letters. For all six books, Bilibin draws the same cover, on which there are Russian fairy-tale characters: three heroes, the bird Sirin, the Firebird, the Gray Wolf, the Serpent-Gorynych, the hut of Baba Yaga. And yet it is clear that this is not antiquity, but stylized modernity. All page illustrations are surrounded by ornamental frames, like rustic windows with carved frames. They are not only decorative, but also have content that continues the main illustration.
