The size is continental standard 6" x 4", unmailable without a cover, published by the Soviet Artist Publishing House, Moscow, circulation 40,000, very low by Soviet standards. The artwork is an offset print of G. Nisskiy's 1937 oil-on-canvas painting, on exhibit at the Central Museum of the Border Guard Troops. The Soviet Union and Japan were in a state of undeclared war throughout the 1930s, and incidents of Japanese fishing ships which "accidentally" found themselves in the Soviet territorial waters were not all that infrequent.

In excellent condition: just minimal corner bumps
