First edition. Cover design, layout and the photographic illustration by El Lissitzky. First edition. In publisher's red, illustrated wrappers. 111, (1) p. and a large folding plate of panoramic photomontage. The "Pressa Catalogue", designed by El Lissitzky and illustrated with his long concertina fold-out photomontage. This striking catalogue of the Soviet Pavilion at the International Press Exhibition in Cologne in 1928 contains a 2,3 metre long folding panoramic plate itself a magnificent technical achievement comprising of eighteen sections, presenting the most spectacular design elements of the exterior and interior of the Soviet Pavilion, installations of the exhibition, as well as two large sections of El Lissitzky's 24 metre long, famous photomontage frieze. As the chief artist of the project, Lissitzky was responsible to shape up a revolutionary design for the building of the Soviet Pavilion and for the press exhibition held inside, to introduce and celebrate the Soviet publishing achievements. Architecture, graphic design, typography, photography, and cinematography were all brought together to show the world the progress and importance of the press in post-Revolution Soviet society. It was also Lissitzky who designed entirely the exhibition's accompanying catalogue, the present booklet. It is forwarded by Artemy Bagratovich Khalatov (Chalatow; 18961938) the Commissar of Publishing and the chairman of the State Publishing House, who was executed during the Great Terror. We offer this copy together with two exceedingly scarce flyers, distributed also at the exhibition, under the titles of Die Arbeiter- und Bauernkorrespondenten und die Sowjetpresse and Die Wandzeitung in der Sowjetunion.

Moscow: IZOGIZ, 1935. An unusually fine copy of a work generally considered to be one of the masterpieces designed by Lissitzky, and the most spectacular and rarest of the Soviet photobooks. The book was published to accompany the first All-Union art exhibition, a celebration of the achievements of Socialist industrialization, intended originally to open in 1937 to commemorate the second Soviet Five Year Plan and the 20th anniversary of the Russian Revolution but delayed by two years. The resulting book '.is a cornucopia of graphic design and photomontage, arguable the high point both of Lissitsky's book designing career and of the Soviet propaganda photobook.' (Parr & Badger).
