Abstract
The Dusty Covers section presents some of the smallest Croatian picturebooks
ever published, almost completely forgotten until the present day. Three series of
booklets were issued as charity tokens by a Croatian government department in the first
half of the 1940s. Berislav Majhut reveals the circumstances of their appearance, and
describes their function and history. Facsimiles of 16 out of the total
of 22 booklets are reproduced.
