Moscow 1972 in Black and White

Printed in 1972 this postcard folder has 10 very atmospheric black-and-white images of Moscow. These photos are fabulous and include views of various squares, streetscapes, famous buildings and monuments and of the Central Lenin Stadium.

The stunning photo of the Monument to the Conquerors of Space is one of the better postcards I have seen to date.
