Item Overview

Description

Zheleznaya doroga [The Railroad]. [Leningrad]: GIZ, 1929. 8vo. 8 pp. Illustrated by Alisa Ivanovna Poret with color lithographs. Original color lithographed wrappers. Library stamps partially removed. Perhaps the most important collaboration between poet Vvedenskii and artist Poret. This picture book plays with the popular Soviet children's book theme of traveling on the railway across the new nation in all kinds of weather. The engineer looks remarkably like Poret's lover, the poet Daneel Kharms.
