Title

Tolstoy by Nikolai Romadin

Description

1982 Fourteen (of sixteen?) numbered postcards by Nikolai Romadin of fables and stories by Leo Tolstoy. 4⅛" x 5⅞". Moscow: Sovetsky Khudozhnik. Seven of them for C$14.99 and five for C$22.50 from Lovelystamps, IL, Israel, on Ebay, Sept., '21. Card #6 for AU$15.98 from postcardsworld through Ebay, Sept., '21. Card #3 for C$4.99 from block36 through Ebay, Sept., '21.

Many of these illustrations present Tolstoy’s renditions of standard Aesopic fables. Others may be "adaptations." For example, "The Shipwreck" (#2), seems an adaptation of Aesop’s "Hercules and the Wagon Driver." Still others are stories I have not yet been able to pin down, like "Sea, Rivers, and Streams" (#3); "The Monkey and Other Animals" (#4); "Fisherman" (#9), and ""Ram, Cat, and Boy" (#14).
