Description

With striking cover designed by TCHAIKOV

summary

A striking cover design of a man in a fringed garment killing a snake. The bold image is typical of the Constructivist style, with hint of Socialist Realism. In the background, an industrial railway bridge motif contrasts with the expressionistic energy and movement of the striking man in the foreground. The type-face of the title is also original and in perfect keeping with the boldness of the image below
pp. 397. Lightly browned. Cover illustration laid onto boards. Lg. 8vo
