Postcard Getting Ready for School, artist signed, dated 1956.

The size is continental 6" x 4", postally unused and unmarked. Published by IZOGIZ, circulation 300,000 copies. The logo of the publishing house is in the upper left-hand corner on the verso. The back is divided, the name of the artist, I. Fridman, is printed in the lower left-hand corner.

The artwork is a typical example of early- and mid-Soviet era moralistic visual art, mocking the overbearing attitude of the girl's parents and grandfather, doing everything for her while she is standing there, smothered by them and only wishing to be out with her friends. The friends are taking this scene with a good deal of ironic sympathy, snickering in the doorway.

In very good to excellent condition. The artwork is pristine. There are minuscule corner and edge bumps, barely visible and not detractive. The verso shows only minimal storage wear and mild age toning to the paper.
