This exhibition at the Republican Children’s Library in Tashkent, Uzbekistan, presents a unique opportunity to see not only the work of artists of the 1930s, but also changes in the graphics of the Uzbek language in the twentieth century.

This part of the exhibition features rare exhibits, such as posters by Nadezhda Kashina from the State Museum of Art of Uzbekistan and Nina’s picture book from the library’s children’s book archive.

The second theme of the exhibition is a brief introduction to the history of writing in Uzbekistan and demonstrates changes in the graphics of the Uzbek language in the twentieth century. This is shown through books published in Uzbekistan between the 1940s and 1990s, from the library’s collection.
