With the author’s autograph – a conceptual book designed by an artist. This collection of thirteen among Mayakovsky’s best and most renowned poems was Lissitsky’s ‘landmark project’. He designed a thumb index with titles to help the reader find the poems and also a title page for each poem ‘constructing images by combining typefaces of various sizes printed in red and black’ (Suzuki). S. Suzuki, in D. Wye, Artists and Prints: Masterworks from The Museum of Modern Art (2004).
Octavo (185 x 125mm). With lithographed illustrations throughout (minimal spotting, thumb index a bit dust-soiled). In the original wrappers, in modern folding box (edges a trifle stained). Provenance: V.V. Mayakovsky (autograph to half-title, dated Baku 1926).
