Soviet art. “Bullfinches. Daycare.” Nikolai Ulyanov (1964)
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.

Such a cute little book reader :) Obviously, I googled the book she’s reading. It was quite hard to track, but it’s Sergey Mikhalkov’s “Jolly Travelers” from 1963. Yay.
