The Miller, the Milleress and the Millstones, written by Benzion Raskin, illustrated by Eliezer Lissitzky. Poland [Warsaw]: "Tarbut", 1923.
Story for children, with illustrations by the artist Eliezer Lissitzky. 15, [1] pp, 21 cm. Good condition. Restored tears to front and back cover. The booklet, as a whole, is rebound.
"In April 1919 Benzion Raskin and Eliezer Lissitzky signed a contract with 'Yidisher Folks verlag' in Kiev, probably due to financial problems. According to this contract they were obliged to sell the copyrights of eleven children's books…for some reason only three of them have been published in Yiddish as planned. However, three years later a series of books for infants in Hebrew has been published in Warsaw…The series called 'Zil Zlil', included five books…out of the five booklets, only one, 'The Miller, the Milleress and the Millstones, was translated into Hebrew, and the illustrations were copied from the illustrations created by Lissitzky for the Yiddish books…there is something too slim in those illustrations as if they were done hastily.
The reason might have been that there was a need to produce many books in a short period of time. It is possible, on the other hand, that Lissitzky limited himself to minimal lines on purpose, similar to the way children draw. At that period it was common amongst the modern artists to believe that a child's art reflects a primary concept of the world, and many artists were inspired by this art".

Story about a kitten who played with dogs until she became hungry. [8] Leaves, 25.5X20.5 cm. Good condition. Stains, creases and tears at borders of cover.
"Haim Hanft…was a weird artist. Like Lissitzky, he was trying to achieve an abstraction of animals' shapes through a non-continuous line and through minimal use of colors. The animals have human eyes, sometimes smiling and sometimes cross-eyed, however the kitten, in spite of her human face and in spite of being cross-eyes is so strange and poor, that a child cannot identify with her".
