Condition: Very good. Third printing of this avant-garde celebration of technological innovation by the celebrated pair of modernist children's book collaborators, Marshak and Lebedev. Children are taught about modernism and scientific progress through a comparison of tools of "yesterday" next to the tools of "today": the plume beside the typewriter, buckets for gathering well-water beside indoor plumbing, candles beside lightbulbs. Lebedev, ever experimenting, depicts the old methods with sketch-like drawings and the new methods with stencil-like designs. Scarce in any early printing, this is the same printing featured in Lévèque and Plantureux's Dictionnaire des illustrateurs de livres d'enfants Russes. 11.25'' x 8.75''. Original side-stapled pictorial wrappers printed in black, red, and blue. Illustrated by Lebedev in color throughout. [12] pages. Spine carefully repaired, light soiling and edgewear to wrappers.

Lebedev, Vladimir Vasil'evich (illustrator). Small quarto. (12)pp. Bright color illustrations throughout. A rhyming Russian story for children, in which a worn-out old carpenter's plane makes a new plane, his "grandson," to carry on his work. The plane is aided in his work by fellow woodworking tools like the chisel, mallet, and saw. A collaborative work by writer, translator, and poet Samuil Marshak, and painter and graphic artist Vladimir Lebedev. The pair worked together frequently, and were important in the development of children's literature in Russia. In the 1920's, Lebedev became known as "King of the Children's Book," and Maxim Gorky said of Marshak that he was "the founder of Russia's (Soviet) children's literature." Marshak published under Raduga (Rainbow) from 1922 to 1930, while he worked in Leningrad as the head of the Children's Literature Studio. Stapled into self-wrappers, showing some wear at the spine and light staining. Near fine.

First Edition
Condition: Fine. First edition of this simple yet dynamic instructional picture book, featuring a modernist approach to book design - a very fine copy. Marshak, a major children's book author and editor of the early 20th century, is best known today for his collaborations with the artist Lebedev and the publisher Raduga, of which this is a gorgeous example. Raduga led the innovations that characterized the Golden Age of Soviet Russian picture books, with an approach similar to Flammarion's Père Castor series in Paris - using avant-garde philosophies to make books designed to encourage interactive reading - but its influence spread well beyond the world of children's literature and into mainstream modernist art. The designer El Lissitzky believed that "It is in the area of children's books that we have accomplished most," asserting that "[h]ere we have found the form that corresponds to the content. The book is made active" (quoted in Hearn). An exceptional copy, the finest we have seen. 11'' x 8.25''. Original color pictorial wrappers printed in red, blue, grey, and black. Illustrated by Lebedev in color on every page. [12] pages.

Condition: Very good. First edition of the famous avant-garde picture book, the first collaboration by the two formative children's books creators published by Raduga. Marshak was a central figure in the production of children's books after the Revolution of 1917 who often worked with Raduga, the "most influential of the early Soviet children's book publishers" and Lebedev, "the greatest of Russian picture book artists" (Hearn). Lebedev's constant experimentation and avant-garde aesthetic brought a remarkable dynamic into picture books; as Michael Patrick Hearn says, "Every book was a masterpiece of modern graphic design." TSIRK not only their first collaboration but also viewed by many as their best: its influence across Russian picture books, and further, into European modernism, is difficult to overstate. 11'' x 8.5''. Original color pictorial wrappers printed in red, green, yellow, and black. Illustrated by Lebedev with large central color images on each page. [12] pages. Subtle repairs to spine, some shallow chips to edges and several short closed tears, paper scrape on one page. Faint staining and uniform toning.
