Along the black soil


Exhibition of early Soviet Children’s Books
The Productive Image
        “There exist books with numbers and books with pictures
           The other day there appeared a huge book 1680 pages
           in lengnth where each number hides a picture, or
           more precisely, and image of what will be built
           in our country during the next five years
           One number is locomotives; another, steamships           
           a third, tractors and cars,  etc

          “And behind all these numbers, one can clearly see
           a multitude of future factories, manufactures
           collective farms, electric power stations (entire
           complexes of power stations), new railways and
           highways, new canals, lakes, a new country
