About This Item
Quarto 23.5x17 cm.,[9]. 30000 copies. Illustrated white and orange wrappers with black lettering on the front and back covers. Many children's books from Kul'tura used the covers for the title page and publishing data. The publication is an illustrated children's book about falcons and cormorants. The lithographic illustrations throughout from Evgenii Rachev are beautifully printed in earthy tones of oranges, browns and greys, and show the influence of Asian woodblock prints. Evgenii Mikhailovich Rachev (1906-1997) was a graphic artist acclaimed as a book illustrator. He got his start in this book, and worked with Constructivist artists under the Kul'tura banner of children's literature. Text in Russian. Light rubbing to rear cover. There is a small hole through the front cover and running throughout most of the pages. Slight lamination on the interior back cover. Wrappers and interior in overall very good condition. Very scarce, OCLC locates only two copies held worldwide, both in France.
