Description
The Soviet Space Dogs: A Collection of Ephemera and Collectibles This book celebrates the dogs that played a crucial role in the Soviet Space program. In 1957, Laika became the first Earth-born creature to enter space, paving the way for future canine cosmonauts. Her legacy has endured, with her image appearing on everyday items across the Soviet Union. The Soviet Space Dogs features over 350 previously unpublished images of ephemera from the era, including cigarette packets, sweet wrappers, badges, stamps, and postcards. These unique items showcase the dogs' enduring popularity and provide a fascinating glimpse into the design and graphics of the time.
