We're just back from a short vacation trip to Berlin. While there, we stayed in an apartment hotel in Berlin Mitte, the now trendy area in Berlin that used to be in the East side. Next door from the hotel is a used book store which one afternoon put boxes of books, postcards and old photographs, all for 1 euro each.
I rummaged around the boxes and found this pack of vintage postcards from 1972 Uni Soviet featuring lino cut of classic fairy tale scenes. Some are of Russian origins which are totally obscure to me, but I could recognise others like Cinderella (called 'Solushka' in Russian), Puss in Boots, and the Frog Prince.
Needless to say, I got the whole pack of 12 for 1 euro. Quite a bargain, and I'm going to frame these for Peanut's nursery for sure.
