Description from the seller
Set of illustrated Soviet reviews « Iskorka » (“Little Spark”) 1926–1930
Avant-garde Soviet children’s press

1 issue from 1928,
1 issue from 1929,
1 issue from 1930.
Drawings by Alexander Deneika (1928, 1929)
These illustrated magazines constitute a remarkable testimony to the Soviet graphic aesthetics of the late 1920s, at the crossroads of Constructivism, modernist illustration and revolutionary pedagogy.
The covers feature dynamic typography and compositions characteristic of the Soviet avant-garde applied to children's publishing:
- imagery of proletarian childhood,
- modernist graphic games,
- experimental layout,
- colors typical of late NEP Soviet printing.
The Soviet children’s periodicals of this era are today particularly sought after by collectors of:
- Russian constructivism,
- graphic design,
- Soviet illustration,
- historical avant-garde,
- history of childhood and education.
Original period pieces.
Paperback formats.
Overall condition good to very good, considering the usual fragility of 1920s Soviet paper; small wear, creases and signs of time in places.
Rare set and visually very attractive.
