Title: Ussr in Construction 1917-1937 #9-10-11-12 the Stalin Copnstitution XX Great Years of the October Socialist Revolution
Description: Russia, IZOGIZ, 1937. Softcover. Red and golde wraps (11.75" x 15.5") Unpaginated, some tipped-in color graphics. A poor collector's copy and a great reading copy. Extremely rare, this version is in English. Designed and spearheaded by El Lissitsky (spelled Lisitsky in the credits). The issue is dedicated to the Constitution of the USSR; each of the 133 articles of the constitution is written out and accompanied by photos, statistics, quotes, and maps illustrating progress made in that area. A lengthy section is also dedicated to the Soviet Republics, with a traditional pattern, maps and statistics included for each republic. The issue includes a fold-out map illustrating industrial hubs in the Soviet Union and a great photo montage by El Lissitzky, as well as a fold-out poster of Stalin. Quite scarce in any condition. Wrappers are soiled and loose, with a few tears and small pieces missing, old tape along the spine areas but not running the length of the spine. All contents believed present.
