SA850-There are 18 cards for sale here, all done by the Russian
illustrator, Bem. Although this artist is known for his drawings of
children, this is a great stack of postcards from an 'ABC' set.
The Russian language has a larger alphabet so I have no idea whether this is
a complete set. Cards are chock fill of detail and each has a very
fancy border. One has a very tiny crease on left side, hardly noticeable,
another has very light rounding on the right top; the
rest are very clean, small differences in the back but all are early cards,
the scan is more garish than original. VG++ $225.00 for 18 postcards |

hard not to like all of Brundage's work but I find some images more engaging than

portrait. Card is not signed but bears the unmistakable imprint of her work.
