Eyes on Russia. With a Preface by Maurice Hindus

New York: Simon & Schuster, 1931. First Edition. Original cloth. With frontispiece & plates after Margaret Bourke-White. Spot of soiling to front free endpaper. Hinge back cover slightly cracked at top, but binding still tight. Slight wear & slight soiling to spine, covers & corners. ; "Eyes on Russia" by Margaret Bourke-White is a seminal photographic volume that captures the transformative period of the Soviet Union in the early 1930s. Through her lens, Bourke-White documents the industrialization under Stalin's Five-Year Plans, providing a rare and visually compelling insight into Soviet society. Her photographs focus on the massive changes wrought by these plans, including the construction of huge factories and the radical shift in daily lives of Soviet citizens. Bourke-White’s work is notable for its juxtaposition of the monumental scale of industrial projects with intimate portraits of the workers involved, offering a nuanced perspective on the era’s optimism and harsh realities. This book is celebrated for its historical importance and its pioneering photojournalistic approach, shedding light on a closed society at a critical moment in its development. Margaret Bourke-White was an American photographer and photojournalist, one of the first to cover modern industry and the Great Depression. Bourke-White made history with her fearless reporting and breathtaking photographs. She was the first foreign photographer allowed to take pictures of the Soviet industry under the Soviet regime, the first female war correspondent during WWII, and the first woman photographer for Life magazine, where her work graced the cover of its first issue. Her photography is distinguished by a unique ability to reach the human side of her stories, whether covering the liberation of concentration camps or the struggles of labor workers. Her influential career set standards for 20th-century documentary photography, using her camera as an instrument for social change. "Eyes on Russia" was part of Chris Steele-Perkins’ extensive photography book collection. As a member of Magnum Photos, Steele-Perkins was deeply influenced by the pioneering work of photojournalists like Bourke-White. Her ability to capture profound socio-political changes through photography resonated with his own interest in documenting social landscapes and cultural identities. Steele-Perkins’ role in Magnum emphasized exploring personal and communal narratives within global contexts, making Bourke-White’s insightful depiction of Soviet life a valuable part of his collection.
