The picture made me think of Ilf & Petrov's novel "The Twelve Chairs" from the 1920s. For anyone who hasn't read it - yet - it is hilarious. It is the story of two con men scouring the Soviet Union for chairs that were used to hide a fortune from the Soviet authorities. I read it because Mel Brooks said it was funny and he was so right. Thanks.
