Incredibly bright and vibrant cover art by one of Russia's topmost Constructivism artists - Nikolai Troshin. He was artist-in-chief of 'USSR in Construction' Magazine and together with his wife Olga Deineko - also famous Avant Garde artist - they designed numerous posters, and children's and photography books.A beautiful edition of Margaret Morley's "Donkey John of the Toy Valley." Not in OCLC. Children's books of the period were typically printed in very large numbers, thus an edition of 5000 was extremely uncommon. Furthermore, the books were voraciously read and precious few have survived in good condition.
