In den WarenkorbSoft cover. Zustand: Very Good. 1st Edition. Large octavo 22x15 cm., original wrappers, 172, ii, (37), xxx leaves of plates. No. 445 or 3500 copies. Possibly the first 500 copies were dedicated. The Soviet State publishing giant Gosizdat was formed in 1919 under Antonin Lunacharskii. It subsumed all private publishing at that ti…me and brought it under state control. It lasted until 1930 when it was absorbed into OGIZ (Unified State Publishing House). It went under the directorship of Vatslav Vorovskii from 1919-21 and Otto Shmidt from 1921-24. Therefore virtually any important work that appeared during this time was under the Gosizdat imprint. This is a five-year commemorative volume, showcasing the most noteworthy productions in that time. This was a fairly open period of Russian publishing, with many later banished figures and luminaries (Trotsky and L. Kamenev), poets, playwrights, novelists (Tsvetaeva, Furmanov, Esenin, Lunacharsky) inter alia, and bibliophile productions. Gosizdat employed great designers (Rodchenko, Klutsis, Mitrokhin, Favorsky.), and this work includes some original covers designed by them. Notably, it includes a complete tract by Kamenev (see illustrated). Here is a celebratory Festschrift, with a host of illustrations and diagrams. This is a pretty uncommon work, with Worldcat locating only one institutional copy (Nanterre CEDEX). Very good+ with slight cover crease.
