Digital Edition – Alexander Black – ‘A Tale of One Night’ – 1962 – Leningrad State Puppet Theater

Instant digital download of Alexander Black’s rare and exceptionally charming 1962 Soviet theatrical poster ‘Сказка одной ночи’ (‘A Tale of One Night’) at the Leningrad State Puppet Theater. Download instantly and print at your preferred size and paper stock.

The composition is a delight: Puss in Boots flanked by marionettes, a bright yellow moon, and a giant hand manipulating Pinocchio — all rendered in muted teal, crimson, and golden yellow with bold, asymmetric Soviet typography. A piece of mid-century theatrical ephemera printed in a run of just 5,000 copies that rarely survived the decades.
