A very good copy of an outstanding study of the period. The book is in fine condition; the dust jacket shows some shelf wear and fading to spine, also a small 1cm nick at the tail. Illustrated throughout – 285 illustrations, 150 in colour. A magnificent source book for the portrayal of political ideals, propaganda, advertising etc that looks at the use of traditional decorative elements as well as the adoption of modernist compositions and design favoured in the  Soviet Union.
