Reading notes
- To N. A. Leikin, 9 June 1887. Babkino. §6 Commission Lebedev to depict
A. I. Lebedev, illustrator for Oskolki who drew several of Chekhov's captioned cartoons; Chekhov proposes him as the artist for the imagined "Palmin's Move" drawing.
- To N. A. Leikin, 21 August 1887. Babkino. §4 Lebedev's drawing
A. I. Lebedev, a regular "Oskolki" illustrator; Chekhov mocks the implausibility of the scene he drew -- a young lady fishing in gloves, slippers, and a low-cut dress -- as being as absurd as hunting in a tailcoat and top hat.
- To N. A. Leikin, 2 September 1887. Moscow. §5 Lebedev's drawing
A. I. Lebedev, one of the regular illustrators for "Oskolki"; Chekhov opens by conceding a point of Leikin's about a Lebedev drawing before pivoting to disagree over a different one.
