This vintage Soviet-era postcard features a serene winter forest scene with tall, bare trees dusted with snow and a small red-roofed cabin in the distance. The artwork is a printed lithograph reproduction of K. J. Kryzhitsky's 1858-1911 painting "The Approach of Spring," capturing the quiet transition from winter to spring with delicate use of muted colors and fine detail. The postcard was produced in Leningrad in 1933 by Izogiz, a notable Soviet publisher, and includes multilingual text on the reverse side referencing the State Russian Museum and the artist's credentials. The postcard is a continental size (6 x 4 inches) and features chrome accents typical of the era, enhancing the image's depth and color vibrancy. It was originally intended for mailing, evident by the printed address fields and postage box on the back, along with Soviet-era postal markings. This collectible postcard offers a glimpse into early 20th-century Soviet art reproduction and postal history, making it a valuable addition for collectors of Russian art, vintage postcards, or historical memorabilia.
