Dmitry Mamin-Sibiryak, a Russian children’s book author - book covers (1928—1987)
This blog is about old postcards, book illustration and all kinds of paper whimsy from the Soviet Union. I'm a long time collector, and this blog is 7 years old. I have an etsy shop for cards, books, pins and vintage finds from Russia.
