Contes de L’Isba (Tales of Izba) - a collection of Russian fairy tales published in France in 1931 and illustrated by Ivan Bilibin (who left Russia in 1920).
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.
