Dating from 1917 to the end of the Cold War, the posters in this book feature the work of groundbreaking Russian artists such as El Lissitzky and Alexander Rodchenko, as well as extraordinary anonymous work. Presented in full colour and printed on heavy paper in a large-format, the posters gathered here represent the pinnacle of Russian avant-garde design from the 20th century. They range in theme from the dangers of alcohol abuse and the creeping Nazi menace to illustrations of utopian harmony and the Soviet industrial machine. A special feature of this book allows for the removal of the posters for display or framing. A brief introduction offers a chronological overview of the period that produced such eloquent art, which has long been a major source of inspiration to artists and designers alike. Review: Lovely, big book! - Gosh, it's quite large! But print quality is fab and the whole is very satisfying. Review: 22 fabulous posters... - ....for £14....amazing value. Descriptions of how they came into being. Plus the quality of the card. Outstanding. Nothing left to say

High quality
I didn't know what to expect when I ordered this. The book was much nicer than I expected. The posters inside are on quality cardstock. I thought the pull outs might have been folded, but they are not. On the back of each poster is a paragraph about the poster on the front so you will know what it's about, and so this is essentially also a useful book about Russian posters. I am actually going to buy two copies of this book, one to use as a reference book and one to actually use the posters. If you are interested in Soviet history and/or propaganda, you will like this and think it's a good deal for the price. Each page is a poster so there are several posters--no filler pages.

Wonderful collection
You may criticize the regime, but each poster is a great piece of art. The colours, the tipography, the compositions deserve admiration.

Bellissimi
Da poco ho iniziato ad avere la passione per i poster e quelli sovietici sono fantastici oltre che numerosissimi. In questo libro ce ne sono alcuni dei miei preferiti (forse potevano aggiungere quello di Lila Brik nel manifesto sui libri ma vabbè). Ci sono le spiegazioni sul retro così se li incornici non hai l'effetto museo con la didascalia in basso. Non li ho staccati perché ho quasi paura di rovinarli e anche come libro sono veramente belli. Ps: la copertina con il simbolo in rilievo è una di quelle chicche che ti fa pensare bene di chi ha realizzato questo prodotto
