    • Housed the original artwork for this book, Cotsen 12281.
    • "Important contribution to Russian picture-books for children, with "before" and "after" pictures of modern domestic life improved by technology: the candle, the oil lamp, and the light-bulb, the inkwell and the typewriter; the old oaken bucket and the charmingly efficient modern faucet and shower; on its cover is a parade of bent-over ancestors loaded with products of the past, below it the youthful proletarians (in color, naturally) brandishing modern appliances.
