Soviet Children's Literature Authors: Lubov Voronkova (Russia, 19??-??)


Figure 1.-- This is an illustration from Masha-rastyeryasha. The illustrtor is Henrich Valk, a well-known Russian illustrator. One illustration shows a child putting her stockings on in the morning. Here you can note that instead of garter waists or other support garmenrs, stockings were supported with special buttons on panties before tights replaced stockings. The child in the illustration is a girl on the pic, but in the period illustrated, girls and boys wore similiar underwear and hosiery.

Lubov Voronkova was active in the 1960s. We do not know a great deal about the author at this time. We notice his book Masha-rastyeryasha (Masha-loose-all-things). The book was published in the mid-1960s. There were some nicely done illustrations by Henrich Valk, a well-known Russian illustrator. Readers can view other works by Valk. One illustration shows a child putting her stockings on in the morning. Here you can note that instead of garter waists or other support garmenrs, stockings were supported with special buttons on panties before tights replaced stockings. The child in the illustration is a girl on the pic, but in the period illustrated, girls and boys wore similiar underwear and hosiery.
