Autumn in Ternopol (Ukraine), 1974
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.
“Autumn in Sokolniki Park”, photo by G. Samsonov (1960)
Cover of Health magazine, November 1989
I drove up to Nizhny Novgorod yesterday to visit the Sunday flea market and have a bit of a big city chill (eat out in hipster places, buy small run local-made shirts and ogle art nouveau architecture).
Hope you guys had a lovely Sunday too!
