[AGRONOMIC PROPAGANDA FOR CHILDREN] Na vystavku! [i.e. To the Exhibition!]

Vysotskaya, O.I.

Leningrad: GIZMESTPROM, 1938. Item #195

18 pp. 22x15 cm. Original illustrated wrappers and illustrations by A.N. Viktorova. Restoration of the spine. The first and only edition. A coloring book. On every turn of the page there’s an image in color and the same image and outline of the same image opposite for child to color. The first page is colored, the rest are unfilled.

GIZMESTPROM is translated as ‘The state publishing house for light industry’. It was mostly printing technical literature, manuals and instructions. Presumably it only published a handful of children’s books. The theme of the book is that the animals are getting to the well-known All-Union Agricultural Exhibition which opened in 1939 to show the unusually big vegetables they grew.

Not in the WorldCat.
