as a collector one heaped up many things over the past years and suddenly you realize that there are some collections within the collection....
The bears of the famous Russian painter Iwan Iwanowitsch Schischkin (13.01.1831 - 08.03.1898) are one of several examples.
The famous painting, title: Morning in the pinewood
The sujet was so successful that all the known firms started to produce objects with this theme - in different qualities, materials and techniques depending on their skills. Even aluminium was used...Here some examples:
some cheap Soviet "Kitsch"
some matchbox covers - even from the 5th Artel Moscow
