MAYAKOVSKY, Vladimir Vladimirovich (1893-1930). Sergeiu Eseninu [For Sergei Esenin]. Tbilisi: Zakkniga, 1926.

The first edition, with cover design and photomontages by Rodchenko in which the designer contrasts the traditional and the modern, Mayakovsky the urbane 'city poet' to Esenin the raw 'country poet'. The photomontages include his famous pen-in-hand/typewriter design. Mayakovsky's poem is in tribute to Esenin, who had killed himself in December 1925, aged 30; Mayakovsky would do the same a few years later. MoMA, The Russian Avant-Garde Book, 659.

Octavo (175 x 128mm). Two photomontage illustrations by Alexander Rodchenko (some mostly marginal spotting and staining; some marginal wear; deleted title inscription). Original illustrated wrappers, by Rodchenko, printed in red and black (worn; small inscription in red pen in the margin of the back cover).
