Oslinyi Tormaz [The Donkey Brake]
Munich: Printed by Akademische Buchdruckerei F. Straub, [1946]. Kuznetsov, Konstantin (illustrator). Original illustrated wrappers. Item #339
Dimensions: 20.7 × 14.5 cm. 36 pages: illustrations. Text in Russian. Cover and three full-page illustrations by Konstantin Kuznetsov. With the military censorship note, "Approved by UNNRA Team 568, September 1946." Wrappers are worn and soiled; the corner of page 19 is half-fold, but the condition is still very good for a book that was meant to be heavily used.
This book was published by the Russian refugees and printed in a very small run to be distributed in post-war Germany's Displaced Persons (DP) camps. Due to difficult circumstances in those camps, including a lack of resources and military censorship, such publications are a testament to the resilience and determination of the displaced persons community during this challenging time in history.
Price: $200.00
