top left translates as 'winter beasts'

not sure what I'd choose if asked to name some winter beasts but I'm pretty sure I wouldn't go for a pig and a chicken

Cheers gatso, you are obviously fluent. I may need your skills at some time. I've bought a collection of books & papers from a deceased estate in London. The owner seems to have lived & worked in the Soviet Union & China during the 50s & 60s.

depending on what you've got I may be interested in some of the older stuff tonji, let me know when you've catalogued it if you don't have a buyer lined up

[Tonji]

I've unloaded most into the warehouse. On first sort through there seem to be a lot of propaganda publications from the Foreign Languages Publishing Houses of Moscow & Peking, 1950 through to the 1970s. Boxes of Communist Review, Marxist Quarterly & China Pictorial Magazine.

I was hoping to find posters or photographs by Alexander Rodchenko



But nothing rare or valuable has emerged so far.

yeah, I bet you were. there's a piece coming up at bloomsbury next month that's going to make a lot more than I reckon it's worth
