A scarce children's book celebrating the electricians fixing the overhead cables above the tram, illustrated in a Constructivist style by 'G.T.' This is the rare first edition of which there only seems to be one copy at the Russian State Library. There was a later edition published in 1930 with illustrations by Gurevich and Igumnov which is vastly different in style.

First edition, 8vo (21.4 x 18.3 cm); illustrations throughout; original illustrated wrappers, small close tear repaired to upper wrapper, a near fine copy.
