Ariane, jeune fille russe is a 1924 French novel by Claude Anet, published in Paris by G. Crès and illustrated with woodcuts by Jean Lébédeff, a Russian-born engraver, for a French readership. The woodcuts show Russian town scenes with onion-domed churches, wooden houses and tall towers rendered in heavy black carved lines on cream paper, giving a designer a clear model for bold high-contrast graphic illustration and stylised architecture.
