Easter Animals

Маврина, Т. Сказочные звери
Издательство: М.: Детская литература. 1965 г.
Переплет: мягкий; 16 страниц; формат: энциклопедический
"Fabulous Beasts" (??) illustrated by Tatiana Mavrina, 1965






It's been quite a while since I posted any children's book illustrations so I thought I'd look for some with a Spring feel. Tatiana Mavrina's award-winning work fits the bill perfectly.
New-to-me polny-shkaf has an inspiring site, well worth keeping an eye on if you like vintage books.

I also spotted one of Tatiana's illustrations on Irina Troitskaya's Tumblr, found through another interesting book link.
