Probably my favourite children’s book artist - Syuzanna Byalkovskaya. These two are from the 1974 book called “If You Sit Really Really Quietly in the Forest”.
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.
