Measures approx. 8 ¼" x 6" in its folded form. Printed on both sides of a single sheet of low-quality paper. Published by "МУЗГИЗ", Russian abbreviation for "State Music Publishers". Circulation 25,000.

In very good to excellent condition. The paper is still quite supple and mildly and evenly age-toned. A tiny separation of the fold at the bottom does not reach the lettering and is not detractive. The artwork is wonderfully preserved both in color and clarity of print, and so is the music and lyrics inside.
