Description
1928. SOVIET PROPAGANDA DESIGN. Za oboronu SSSR [For Defence of the USSR]. 48 pp., illustrated with 32 full page plates printed in red and black. Small folio, 275 x 200 mm., bound in publisher's wrappers illustrated by Czech artist P. Skala. Moscow: Izdatel'stvo AKHRR: Shkola FZU pri 1-i Obraztsovoi tipografii, 1928. A remarkable collection of Soviet imagery intended as instruction for decorating workers' clubs, reading huts and use during rallies. The illustrations include fully decorated interiors, concepts for 'hands-on' attractions such as a 'rayok' or Russian peep show, shooting galleries, and quiz shows. Most of the imagery is in the constructivist style, but also includes numerous caricatures of western fat cats, fascists, and even a Ku Klux Klan member, which would have been inspiration for costume design. Rare, OCLC finds just one copy at the Bibliotheque Nationale de France. The leaves with illustrations have an even toning from the printing process, else a fine copy with the errata slip and unusually printed on fine thick paper.
