A rare edition from 1962, prepared by the Academy of Sciences of the Ukrainian SSR in Kyiv. This is a phototype of an uncensored copy of the legendary "Kobzar" from 1840 - the book that actually began new Ukrainian literature.

The edition recreates the original appearance of the historical book: font, illustrations and the atmosphere of the first printing.

That is why it is especially valuable for collectors, admirers of Ukrainian culture and bibliophiles.
