Oh yes,
Fantastic illustrations, and the colour, especially the blue is one I will always associate with these Russian illustrations. The control of line and form, and supporting border art makes for wonderful full page art.
I feel very fortunate in having a set of eight illustrated books, each one a traditional Russian tale, printed in Moscow around 1976 if I remember correctly. Lovely ! -
lovely print 🙂
