Jiří Trnka's illustrations for Peter And The Wolf (1964)


I'm in Czechoslovakia again with this entry, and with another children's book. This one is a graphic novel, so to speak, of Sergei Prokofiev's Peter and the Wolf. And like Kubasta's The Brave Tin Soldier, it was originally produced by the Czech communist government run book company ARTIA. This is a 1965 Hamlyn English version. It was awarded a bronze medal in recognition of it's design.
