Very good vintage condition.

The original illustrated softcover shows light shelf wear, including minor edge rubbing and slight corner creasing consistent with age. The binding remains secure, and the interior pages are clean, bright, and fully intact. The colorful embroidery plates retain excellent color. This copy contains an old pencil archive number and a faint deaccessioned Soviet institutional library stamp on the title page, adding authentic historical provenance. Please review all photographs carefully for the exact condition.

A wonderful collectible for embroidery artists, textile designers, costume historians, folk art enthusiasts, and collectors of vintage Soviet craft books.
