Subject: [Puptcrit] Help with Russian Puppetry Book


A long time ago I received 50-75 photocopied pages of designs for Russian
puppets and puppet stages. The descriptions were in Russian, but I have no
idea what the source of these was, but the person who gave them to me said
they were from a well-known old Russian puppetry book. They weren't sure,
but thought the book might have been based on or copied from work done at
the Central Puppet Theatre in Moscow by Sergey Obraztsov.

Unfortunately, I inadvertantly lost the binder containing the pages a few
years ago and have been trying to track down the original book with no luck
(I don't really have much to go on). Over the summer I was browsing through
old copies of the Puppetry Journal (sorry I don't remember which) and I came
across an issue or two with very similar illustrations of elaborate Russian
puppet stages. I suspect they may have come from the same or a similar book.

Does any of this sound familiar to anyone else?
