Revolution Square in Moscow, 1959. Photo by Carl Mydans.
I love everything about this picture. Avoska bags, paper package, sled, and the Ford Fairlane ‘59.
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.
