Ilya Ilf (1897-1937) "was a popular Soviet journalist and writer of Jewish origin who usually worked in collaboration with Yevgeni Petrov during the 1920s and 1930s. Their duo was known simply as Ilf and Petrov. Together they published two popular comedy novels "The Twelve Chairs" (1928) and "The Little Golden Calf" (1931), as well as a satirical book "Odnoetazhnaya Amerika" (often translated as "Little Golden America") that documented their journey through the United States between 1935 and 1936." (Wikipedia)
In the 1930s, Illya Ilf became fond of photography. However, his works were found only many years after his death by his daughter, Alexandra.
