Each yearly volume was organized into four seasonal sections - Winter, Spring, Summer, Autumn - and combined poetry, fairy tales, adventure stories, craft projects and patterns for homemade toys, and popular-science and historical essays marking notable dates and figures, aiming to cultivate in young readers both literary taste and pride in the Soviet homeland. This 1946 volume, edited by E. Emden with art direction by P. Suvorov, is characteristic of the immediate postwar Stalin-era format: alongside literary content illustrated by leading Soviet children's-book artists of the day, it carries the obligatory full-page state portrait of Stalin (after the Stalin Prize-winning painting by Dmitry Nalbandyan) that appeared in Soviet annuals of the period, together with fine-art reproductions such as Isaac Levitan's \"Golden Autumn,\" reflecting the series' role in transmitting a canon of Russian high culture to a mass child readership. Produced in a large run of 100,000 copies but subject to heavy use as a children's book meant to be read and handled throughout the year, well-preserved copies with undamaged illustrated endpapers - as here - are less commonly found today, making this volume of interest both to collectors of Soviet children's book design and to those assembling material documenting Stalin-era print culture.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Stanza Rare Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44530123571242,"sku":null,"price":280.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0701\/6359\/5306\/files\/IMG_6735.jpg?v=1783105295","url":"https:\/\/stanzararebooks.com\/products\/round-year-whole-year-round-a-calendar-book-for-children-for-1947-kruglyy-god-kniga-kalendar-dlya-detey-1946-in-russian","provider":"Stanza Rare Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
