This is a cute card that has been floating around in an old box for years. I see that it comes from Russia so it must have been included in some correspondence with my cousins who live over in Moscow.
I love the wee picture of the birds and wanted to see if @anden can translate the words which were on the back of the card!
My guess is that the top line says "House Sparrow" because that's what they look like and the second line is probably their Latin name (which I can look up for you if you want). It also looks like the artist's copyright is the third line. Sweet picture.
@maggiemae Sure, Maggie. It is written: 'Field Sparows. Artist Kanevsky V' And further: Publishing House - Izobrazitelnoye Iskusstvo (Image Art), Moscow... Send only in an envelope...
I'm so glad that I could help you. And thank you so much for your rhymes to my pic of two birds - it is so lovely!
