Moscow, Government printers MTKH, [1945]. 4to. Original flexible portfolio, lettered and patterned; pp. [8], 10 hand-numbered woodcuts in up to four colours; spine of portfolio repaired, otherwise very good. First edition, one of 500 copies printed. Here the Moscov artist Ivan Pavlov (1872-1951) evokes quiet corners of Old Moscow, looking back at the old city after the ravages of the Second World War. He is renowned for innovative wood-engraving and cutting techniques. Provenance: This copy was handed over to a Polish delegation in Moscow in 1949
