книга о многих прекрасных предметах [The Book of Things], by Evgeni Germanovich Lundberg. Berlin: Peregrin, 1923. Russian.
The Russian edition of "The Book of Things" ("Sefer HaDevarim"), was published by "Peregrin", a publishing house owned by the couple Tom Seidmann-Freud and Jacob Seidmann. The book includes fourteen poems for children and illustrations in color by Tom Seidmann-Freud.
"The Book of Things" was first published in 1922, in Hebrew and German. The German edition of the book included illustrations by Tom Seidmann-Freud, with only titles, and no other text, while in the Hebrew edition poems by Haim Nachman Bialik were added. The themes of the poems were dictated by Seidmann-Freud's illustrations (except for some cases in which Bialik did not want or could not relate to the poems). The poems in this Russian edition were composed in correspondence with the illustrations, with no relation to Bialik's poems.
