Lithography Workshop of M.G. Ravitskii, Kharkov

Литография М. Г. Равицкий, Харьков

Little published information is available on the Kharkov-based lithography workshop of M.G. Ravitskii. However, Ravitskii was likely a working artist before and during the Soviet-era. Published sources from the Soviet Union indicate Ravitskii had a printing business in Kiev. Beyond that, Ravitskii’s name appears as an artist in at least one 21st century Russian publication on graphic art during World War I.

PP 406: Kulak Son of Kulak has a big, fat belly, his pig’s face is huge and, as it is supposed to be, with a beard like a shovel. His house has expensive furnishings inside and during the revolution he was collecting various reparations from barons’ houses. He stole a mirror from there that his pig’s face could not break. [Partial translation]

PP 1141: Drive out the kulaks – Elect poor and middle peasants to the councils.
