This is a brown paper notice with black text. The words are uneven and jagged, like they were cut out by hand. It has a date—October 23, 1920—and some numbers and letters that don’t quite line up. The paper looks worn, with faint marks where it’s been handled. The text is in Russian and seems to be instructions or an announcement. The words are broken into pieces, almost like a puzzle. It feels raw and unfinished, not polished at all. If you like this style, look up Ilia Zdanevich next.
