The Ukrainian Alphabet, 2026: finishing Narbut's ABC a century late. In 1917 Heorhiy Narbut, the artist who later designed Ukraine's first banknotes and stamps, began a children's alphabet where every letter is its own small world: a bear in a birch grove, an elephant beside a samovar, a stone lion watching a swan. He died in 1920 with only part of it drawn, and outside Ukraine almost nobody has seen it. I took eight of his plates from Wikimedia Commons (public domain), cropped away the captions and turned his dense ink line into a Recraft V4 Style. Then I asked it for the letters he could never have drawn: his bear now walks the birch grove in headphones, his elephant takes a selfie next to the samovar, and a grandmother video-calls her grandson from under the windmill. The Ukrainian words stay on the plates, as they were in his book, and the cover translates them.
