Grands et Petits Elisabeth Ivanovsky Stone lithographs from her 1930s book from Desclee de Brouwer. A subject that is still popular today and I’m sure there must be collectors of Animal Family books as a genre.

Le Pecheur Nathan Altman Stone lithographed from 6 Metiers, a 1935 Pere Castor activity book that also celebrates the skills of the French worker. It was illustrated by Altman, a contemporary of Malevitch and El Lissitsky, who worked in Paris for a few years before his return to Russia in 1936. #nathanaltman #perecastor #pecheur #fisherman #stonelithography #russianemigree #paris1930s

Het Beertje Elizabeth Ivanovsky Folk art influenced illustration from De Kudde Van Nentsjo, published in the 1930s by De Kinkhoren. A style that's much imitated today, but never bettered. #elizabethivanovsky #folkart #brownbear #littlebear #bear#russianemigree #ivanovsky
