Tsukor [Sugar].
Kyiv, 'Kultura', 1930
The edition falls into a short period of 2 years, when publishing house 'Kultura' in Kyiv started to produce children's books with radical avant-garde illustrations. Tsukor follows the Soviet tradition of teaching children about manufacturing processes and industry through book illustration. Starting and ending the journey in a cooperative shop, the author takes the reader through the supply chain, from harvesting sugar beet to impressive factory machines. This genre of book aimed to develop the industrial outlook in children of the first Soviet generation.
